I was delighted to be among the first visitors after lockdown ended the first time. Remember Covid?

And I spied:

Love these old prints and the impetus to create them! Wonder where this person is today?

Do you sense the late February afternoon sunshine? What a weak but definite glow.

I can only hope.

There’s a magnolia tree growing in Florence that I adore. My good friend Nicole sent me these pictures of that beauty today!

There’s a fiddle leaf fig tree growing in my Denver home that I adore. It looks so vibrant and healthy drinking up the late winter afternoon sunshine.

My good friend Rudy in Japan just shared this clip of a blooming cherry in Tokyo.

These three trees and 2 friends made me very happy today!
