Bloom

Today I walked,

I embraced the warmth of the coming season

and let the sunshine hit my face.

I looked up toward the blue sky

and thanked the Lord for these days.

I couldn't help but notice

the change in the plants since Sunday.

Sunday, Spencer and I walked home from Safeway

and Spencer pointed out that the trees were beginning to blossom!

Oh, that brought me so much joy!

Some plants and almost each tree 

had little tiny buds.

On the same walk home today,

I noticed that some of those buds were 

beginning to change into blossoms.

There were big pink blossoms

on a nearby crawler,

and there were even crocuses 

in one lady's garden. 

As I admired the new growth around me,

Little One gave my inside's a good boot

that made me jump.

As if to say

"Hey, don't forget me!"

Like it's mother already.

Today marks 17 weeks,

only 23 more to go
