Anticipation☺️

Dad’s Tulip tree ~ my favorite.

I absolutely love the sights of Spring approaching. About four years ago we planted a Tulip tree in honor of my Dad, Every year since, it blooms around his Heavenly birthday. This Wednesday marks four years. We sure do miss him but he is in a better place, fully healed from cancer. When I see the buds on this tree, I begin to anticipate the beautiful blooms that are sure to come soon. Yesterday I noticed more color and it made my heart smile. I’ve clipped back the very bottom breaches so it grows more into a tree form rather than a large shrub. My husband Ron and I expanded the border stones yesterday so we can add more nourishing soil and mulch. Haven’t finished yet but we have time.

Spring is coming soon. The signs are all around and my allergies sure have kicked up as well. One cluster of daffodils have bloomed and the others should be opening their beautiful yellow petals soon. Things come back to life after a lifeless Winter. The sun is delightful in our Carolina blue sky as the days are a little bit longer. Spring puts a little “pep in my step” and makes me happy. The beauty of the Tulip tree is bittersweet as the budding reminds me that Dad has finished his race but he’s with Jesus. I can’t wait to see the spectacular blooms and I also can’t wait to be reunited with him and Jesus someday.
