The apple blossoms keep coming. The dark pink blossoms bloomed about 10 days after the pale pink/white ones. I absolutely love this time of year in the North!

Photogenic. Expressive. Edible. Interesting. Beautiful. Weird. What’s not to love about fiddleheads?

    Wish I could give you a hug in person! There’s nothing quite a good hug, is there? Unless maybe it’s puppy dog kisses(?). I know it’s not quite the same, but I’m sending a heartfelt virtual hug.

I can NOT get enough of the apple blossoms this year. Wowsa.

These dark-pink blossoms with the star-shaped white markings are new-to-me. I really like them.

I was home just long enough to catch the fiddleheads before they were all knee-high and mostly unfurled. Amen for small victories. I would have been very sad had I messed my favorite micro-season of all. Note to self: Don’t travel in May if you don’t have to. Sixty-one years old and still learning.

    Made me gasp! Those beauties are truly stunning! So glad you didn’t miss them with all your traipsing around the countryside. When you wrote your book, I bet you had no idea of the far reaching demands it would ultimately make on your life.

    • Ginny! You know it. Such an irony to write a book about stillness, only to have it’s success make me anything but. Oh well, I suspect it is only for a very short while. xoxo Mary Jo

Yesterday I was in Florida. Today I am at home. Tomorrow I go to Denver. I am just swinging by here.

P.S. I was in Florida to do a corporate speaking/workshop event. In Denver, I am giving a talk at a trade show where a a collection of STILL wallpapers will be introduced.
