You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming

My family and I have had a couple of hard weeks

Many unfortunate things happened one after the other.

Trying hard to focus on the bright side 

I needed to take a moment to stop and take a look around

at all the beauty that is blooming...

Spring is renewal 

All these things must fall apart and self destruct in order to give room for new things to grow

The signs are all around

and I am left feeling reborn

Yoshino Cherry

All of these lovely beauties were grown by my husband (the captain)
I asked him to take pictures of his favorites
so I could document his talent and celebrate in awe

 'Avondale' Redbud

Japanese Bloodgood Maple

"flying Dragon" tree

fothergilla 'Blue Mist'

Black Pine candles

Hearts Delight tulip

Crimson Frost Birch

Wind flower

Juniper berries

This is a movie he made in the beginning of the year
To show his love for these trees and the garden he helped create.

For my one and only captain
Happy belated!

Thanks for the pictures!
