On a dear friends garden path

I appeared on time

In our heart of hearts

Trees are the great sentinels

Watching over earth

An umbrella wide

With lush greenery hiding
All the young new growth

This is a shot of trees I took on one of our stops
on vacation in Oregon.

Warming our bones from winter

Precious warm sunrays

My Aunt Rosie circa 1900

San Fernando Mission in San Fernando, California in the early

1900's. (1901-1905)

Now I know where I get my love of hats. All the women on both

sides of my family loved hats and wore the most elaborate I think they could find. 

More about that in a later post.

Fields of Lavender

Fields of lavender

Swaying with the gentle breeze

Aroma so sweet

Walls of Spring

This is the fence behind A lot 'o' Flowers in Fairhaven.

This is also a wall of blossoms that usher in their yearly entrance into Spring!!

I am disappointed they had to move their business. I really loved the spot they were in.

I especially loved the back gardens, the hidden gardens.

Hope for Spring

Each bud a prayer

Each time a blossom answers

And we humbly sigh.....
