Flowering Crabapple Tree, Mars, PA – Spring 2018
All of the Sudden.
You wait.
You wonder.
You anticipate.
And then
one day
you blink.
And all of the sudden
the beauty and joy and delight
appears.
All of the sudden.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
All of the Sudden
the creative life in between

I have become so impatient for Spring to arrive, beyond a day on the calendar telling me that it has. There is the tease of a warm day that soon returns to cold. My daffodil buds seem unable to open, the weeping cherry tree seems frozen with uncertainty and my grass is more brown than green. Ralph W. Emerson suggests : “Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience.” I’m trying. For now, I’ll enjoy your beautiful tree blossoms and hope that all of a sudden Spring will be sprung! Thank-you!

Oh Ellen! It was so beautiful here for a day or two. Reached 85 on Friday and my granddaughter and I spent hours outside and came in pink. The snow came back today. Lol. I keep saying I am going to enjoy it as it must be the last. Great quote!!!
