The warmth of Spring...

27 degrees today and counting... it has been a glorious warm sun filled day, with a brisk breeze blowing debris around the garden and rustling in the leaves.
Judy and I began finalising the database of paintings.. 350 or so to go in to storage for the next year. Its quite bewildering trying to keep track... but lets hope it will all make sense next year.
Our irises are gorgeous, and have burst out in the last two days...




And, all afternoon we were treated to blackbird song; joyful song celebrating the stuff of spring.

It doesn't take a lot to shed light on things...well...sometimes it takes patience to wait for illumination, for what was once in shadow to be revealed.


Today there were blessings, a friend had an all clear on a follow-up, something that is always frightening for her. Another friend had a scare, but it seems at this moment that she, too, will be ok. 


Light puts things in perspective, it helps me remember what to focus on. It
helps me remember that extraordinary gifts are often the simplest, the light on a new leaf on a spring morning, celebrating life in all its glory.




Today I am filled with gratitude and aware of grace.
