A single crocus blossom ought to be enough to convince our heart that springtime, no matter how predictable, is somehow a gift, gratuitous, gratis, a grace.
-David Steindl-Rast
Since the first day of my visit with my son and fam, through today, the western part of Washington state has been experiencing an atmospheric river; a deluge of rain.
I haven’t minded it (I do love the sound of rain), but it cleared enough today to have a much needed day out.
My daughter-in-law and I went to a tea tasting party. We learned some historical facts, some agriculture facts, and tasted a variety of tea. We learned about the properties of the various teas and how to properly prepare them. It was informative and fun!
It was also fun to be encouraged by the crocus blooming in the backyard when we came home from the party!
In the northeastern corner of Washington state, where I live, there is still snow at my house. It snowed there yesterday.
So I am very appreciative to enjoy the crocus here!
I hope you enjoy them as well!

Keep smiling.
