The Island in Bloom, by Amanda Downey
Take a moment to notice the new daffodils & tulips coming alive once again. The spring sun awakening their bloom. Oh, the familiar 
yellow colors of the Gold Forsythia Shrubs just as bright as a golden finch.
And the Dogwoods coming to life with their lovely white weeping petals. As the earth laughs in flowers, remember to stop and smell the roses every now and then. Enjoy the sunshine, the birds chirping a new song for the day.
Stop and notice the beauty all around you, in full bloom. How lovely the silence is of growing things.
“Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature.” -Gerard De Nerwal
