Wonders of Spring

Andrea is seeing the signs of spring for the first time. This evening, I walked around the backyard with Andrea. We looked at and touched the buds on the maple trees and magnolia trees. She enjoyed feeling the evergreen tree leaves. Walking in the yard, while holding my hands, she stopped to reach for a tree branch that had fallen to the ground. Geoff took a couple of pictures, but they don't do justice to the glimmer of amazement and excitement that were in her eyes. On our way inside, Andrea and I paused and looked at the buds on the magnolia tree once more; I suggested that she always take time to smell the flowers.
