Under The Canopy In Spring . . .

Believe it or not, I went and laid in my neighbors’ yard underneath their weeping cherry tree to bring you this gorgeous shot. Its pink blooms are like a gorgeous party dress. They make me smile and I hope they do that same for you!

I’m so happy to announce that Tracy S. has won the April giveaway.  Happy because even though she was picked using Random.org, I can’t help but think there is no randomness whatsoever to her winning. A few weeks ago Tracy showed up on my doorstep quite unexpectedly, bearing a beautiful {and oh-so-delicious} homemade lemon meringue pie. For no reason other than to be nice. It made my day.

She had all four of her children with her and explained it was because her husband was out of town for a lengthy period of time. Yet she had time to bake and bring me a pie. That, my friends, is someone who’s building others up!

I know where you live Tracy!  I’ll be by today or tomorrow with a pie plate full of Spring loveliness for you!

I loved reading all of your beautiful and thoughtful Easter memories.  Thank you for sharing them. Enjoy some more party dress and have a great Spring weekend.

It does seem that shirts and dresses and skirts are all a ruffle these days...just like those delicate pink flower petals.

Spring is a visual feast for eyes tired of perpetual white and gray.

I love your pictures Sam. Spring really is the most beautiful season.

Congrats to Tracy! With the pollen count ramping up it was brave of you to lie underneath that tree to get those peachy pink blossom pics.

I sure don't have to worry about perfection in this life.

I'm so ready for spring to come to Utah. Today is sunnier and a few daffodils are out as well as a few buds on the trees, but the wind is still so cold! Enjoy those beautiful pink blossoms!

Ooooh, I'm having major tree envy! (Coming from someone who has only one tree so far in her very unfinished yard.)

Absolutely lovely spring blooms.

What incredible picture these are!
I love cherry trees, because their flowers are so beautiful, but their fruit extremely delicious!

I dream to have a cherry tree at my garden someday!p
