Here we go again, How spring looks, My kitchen window

1. Spring taunts me with mysterious scents. I sniff and follow my nose to an elusive scent that I cannot quite place. I want to say Witch Hazel, but I know that's not it! Mother nature and I will continue this game again tomorrow.
2. Bright green fields are ringed with bare branched trees.
3. I stand at the window, gazing out while I talk on the phone. My feet keep warm at the heating vent while I watch cloud shadows creep across the hillside.

All our trees are now covered with a haze of bright green, as they leaf. It's s wonderful to see! We've had a mild spring. Am just hoping that it wasn't all the warm weather we will get, which so often happens over here! xxoo

"The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand. But who gets excited by a mere penny?...It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted with pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. what you see is what you get."
