Mellow Monday

Since today is election Monday, I think we can all do with a little mellowing out, especially after having performed our civic duty.

Think of a quiet place to sit in the warm spring sun …

… or a calming view ..

… or lovely pink blossoms …

… and remember that this process is almost over.

It’s a good thing to have a little mental breather before we get on with the election returns that will start happening this evening!

Happy Election Monday.

Sights from a Ramble

During a recent ramble I saw that the new spring growth is almost glowing with freshness and health.

The delicate fan-shaped leaves of a ginkgo biloba tree are opening.
A late blooming magnolia sports its rich red flowers.
A larch tree with its lovely new frond-like green needles.
A flowering plum surrounded by lots of new growth all around.
Pretty periwinkles with their fresh leaves.

With a sunny day and gentle warmth, there’s so much to enjoy at this time of year. Happy Spring Sunday.
