Potential

I love spring. I love the warmth spring sun brings. How it feels on your back as you work in your yard. I love the new things it brings: sprouts of new life, promises of a fresh start, anticipation as to what will come.

I walked through my back yard today and found that most of my photos had to do with potential. See if you can spot the potential.

Spring is Optimism for the future. It will come and bring good things.

Promises of Spring

What a wonderful surprise I found in my back garden yesterday. I shared with you all last week my pre-spring clean up of my garden. During that cleanup I was pulling weeds, one of which is called "butterfly weed". It is huge and very invasive but caterpillars love it!

While pulling it I noticed a caterpillar feasting on the leaves. I decided to leave it. Not expecting this wonderful surprise. Yesterday, while wandering back there this wonderful butterfly caught my eye. Not far below, the chrysalis it had emerged from recently. I was so glad I took the time to pay attention to what I was removing and left the caterpillar to it's lunch.

My garden was blessed, even for a short while, with this wonderful butterfly. A promise that spring is not far away!
