Spring-sprung Spirits

Sissypoo planted these deep violet tulips for my joy. This picture cannot do them justice, the color is off. They actually appear almost black.

Even Quin’s hair screams “spring”.

Embrace each moment and be glad of those who share them.  See our Mother’s beauty bursting all around.  Be.  Breathe.  Repeat. 

Mahalo.
