2022 05-22, 5322 - NEW GROWTH – The light green tips of the spruce trees indicate their new growth. Soon they will darken to match the rest of the tree. Thanks to the events of the past couple of years, everyone is growing whether they want to or not. We each can benefit by it if we so choose.

Waiting for a Bee
|
2022 05-21, 5321 - WAITING FOR A BEE – I didn’t see any bees around the new apple blossoms. Is this happening all over the world? Then I thought of how we could pollinate positive actions, not only for the bees, but, for people as well.

2022 05-20, 5320 - THE FRAGRANCES OF SPRING – All of a sudden, I caught the fragrant smell of lilacs in the air. And I paused for a moment and took a deep breath as my heart filled with gratitude. It was a powerful moment, one I only experience when the lilacs are in bloom.

Tiny Transplants
|
2022 05-19, 5319 - TINY TRANSPLANTS – There is a little clump of flowers close to the frog pond that I transplanted several years ago. The blossoms are very tiny, but they come up every year. There are invasive transplants that take over that remind me of negative thought patterns we have transplanted to our minds.

2022 05-18, 5318 - A POND FULL – Several years ago, thanks to several volunteers, a small “frog” pond was constructed at the Center. A few flowering water plants were introduced and today we have a pond full of flowers. Imagine if positive thoughts and actions were to spread like the flowers in the pond.

No Mow May
|
2022 05-17, 5317 - NO MOW MAY – There is a movement in this country with the slogan, “No Mow May”. The goal is to have people refrain from mowing their lawns and fields in May, to help provide nourishment to the honeybees whose numbers have been dwindling. Good Idea!!!!!!

2022 05-16, 5316 - COVERING THE GROUND – Another one of spring’s little gems is now blooming in places where it covers the ground. Ground phlox provides a beautiful carpet that brings a smile of appreciation to my face. They spread each year, just as acts of kindness do when people plant them with love.

They Are Not Forgotten
|
2022 05-15, 5315 - THEY ARE NOT FORGOTTEN – The forget-me-nots are beginning to bloom. I look forward to them every year as they continually spread across part of the lawn. I am reminded of people we remember who have taken positive actions that continue to benefit others. They are not forgotten.

|
2022 05-14, 5314 - PRIM AND PROPER – The small brilliant colored primrose are now in blossom. Their perfection brightens up the landscape as spring moves onward. I am reminded of when we set our intentions for the day and beyond, the perfection is prim and proper goal. That in itself is perfect.
