Thankful in April...Spring Flowers


I love spring flowers!

I'm thankful for spring flowers in general and in specific, very specific. I'm especially delighted by the crocus and snowdrops that grow in tiny plots of land on the streets of Manhattan. I loved the wild fields of daffodils that grew on the New England hillsides when I was in college. But these hardy tough little flowers practically growing out of the concrete are a testimony that spring and growth can come out of the most improbable places. I'm also thankful for those who bent over these bits of earth and planted the bulbs last fall. What faith!

Thank you to all who act in faith and bring us the beauty of the spring.

What a sweet surprise tucked in among all the concrete. Happy Spring.

These are beautiful little flowers and a multitude of messages can be found in their ability to grow almost out of the concrete!

Great to hear from you!
Blessings,

Thanks for sharing your little bit of Spring there. We are still waiting here. Slowly our temps are creeping up so hopefully soon. Springtime is a message of hope for sure.

I too love the spring flowers. They are such string wee things. when you look at how fragile they appear and yet they make it up through frozen ground, cracks in pavemenets, It shoudl be a lesson to all of us never to give up...We woould be much the poorer if they did..
Love Sybil xx

What a wonderful bonus to a beautiful spring day to find nature in the midst of the man-made concrete jungle! Thanks for the pretty pic.
