Spring Friends

A L O H A!



Spring is mesmerizing!


"Life stands before me
 like an eternal spring

 with new and brilliant clothes." 
Carl Friedrich Gauss 







Beauty is everywhere!


"No matter how chaotic it is,
 wildflowers will still spring up
 in the middle of nowhere."

Sheryl Crow 







I even found time to have dim sum
with a friend-

Qaddafi called,
he wants his hat back




"I like stirring things up.
 I'm on the side of the kids 
more than I am on the adults."
 
William Joyce 





What beauties will tomorrow bring?


"It Might As Well Be Spring...
 I used to sing that as a young girl in my voice lessons. 
Then I picked it up again
 and it spoke to me in a whole new way."

Bernadette Peters 



Thanks for visiting today!
