It’s three weeks before spring. Like me, it feels like the Earth is anticipating this too. I feel like as joyous as a child on a spiral staircase, slipping and sliding and at times, careening, giddy with delight. I have planned three short breaks during early spring. I can hardly wait! As I countdown …
The canola fields are turning gold in the farming Midwest.
This picture captures the colours of the Midwest, so perfectly, from the ground. 
There are expanses of these low growing shrubs, encrusted with tiny flowers growing in the bush.
Beautiful spears of flowers everywhere one looks. 
In this land even a common weed looks beautiful!
There are huge swatches of paper everlasting flowers. Just breathtaking!
Seeing them up close, is seeing perfection.
These purple flowers are scattered among the pinks and whites.
In my garden the bees are busy.
And, roses continue to bloom.
The Earth is generous at this time of year, so I thought I’d share my bounty with you.
Until next time
As always
