Happy Spring!

It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart. —Rilke

Happy almost spring! Although it’s still fairly chilly in DC, warmer temperatures and peak cherry blossoms are on the horizon.

As we leave the heaviness of winter’s hibernation, I find it helpful to review its many lessons, highlights, and challenges. And, wow, wasn’t it intense?!

Next, I pen a spring wish list filled with hope and blooms. I have many ideas listed below for you.
