Spring Renewal, a sense of new beginnings...and

 I'm in the mood for Spring...and all that goes with it, sun, rain, cool, warm, good happy feelings that go along with blue skies and a renewed sense of energy, of new beginnings.  Just like the miniature daffodils  in my yard, to the crocus and then to the sweet smell that is Daphne which grows so beautifully by my front steps and gives us the most fragrant smells when the door is opened.  Such a welcoming scent that it makes my heart sing and my soul dance with delight. 

 

Spring in the Garden

 

Spring brings with it such a heightened awareness of new life with the bulbs peeking through the soil, their heads bright with color looking for the sun.  Trees with new life as leaves push outward toward the skies, birds flying back and forth in my back yard looking for worms and seed to bring back to the nests not far away. Listening to the sounds of Spring as the birds sing their songs and the wind whispers gently in your ear, "Spring is coming, Spring is coming", rejoice, it's not far away.

hummingbird   The Renewal of Spring finds its way to my clients as well  as they begin to recover from a cold and damp winter and ready themselves to begin their spring cleaning and gear up for either selling or looking for a home to purchase before the summer begins. 

I am excited at the prospect of the new season and begin to re-arrange and re-organize my desk to accommodate  for the upcoming resurgence of client activity of selling and listing homes.  One can anticipate and feel the excitement of another season coming into view for all to see. 

Sometimes it is hard to catch one's breath, as the excitement of a new direction, a new path, a renewal of spirit and the feeling of hope that comes with the Spring Renewal of Life.  So I am taking a deep breath and diving into the Spring of new ideas, enthusiasm, new beginnings and love for what I do.  Here's to a Happy, profitable and beautiful Spring for all !

Sally, I have been inspired to re-organize my office and it surely feels better.  I am surrounded by paintings as well so it is a very peaceful place to be and I can actually get work done.  Thanks for your nice comments.

Myrl, Thank you for your comments and I can see where one might feel that March 21 and the Spring Equinox could be the new year instead of January 1.

Lynda, I have to say that April does bring showers and hopefully May buyers, but here in my area in Oregon, it has really been raining hard and we are very wet.  I am hoping my poor plants do not drown and have root rot, It is only March afterall.

Hi Cindy, thanks for the comments, to me just seeing the small flowers coming up with bright colors and the beginnings of iris and peoneys makes me happy.

Andrea, I am with you, we did not have much snow around here, at least any that stayed more than a day or two, and we do have the rain and the cold.  So, Spring is a welcome thought.

Connie, thank you so much!  All of the photos are from my garden and yard, and I am in anticipation of all the new bulbs and blooming shrubs that will be up and out soon.  It always makes me smile.

Anna thank you for a wonderful comment.  I hope you do decide to a small garden, like a large pot with all kinds of gracious flowers flowing down, on a patio or even your front porch.  Sometimes herbs grown in containers make the best additions. Thank you again.

Hi Mary, Thank you for sharing the inspiration of Spring and it's wonderful positive motivation that touches most of life itself. There is energy in the air and the cells are dividing and bringing forth such new beauty of color and the Sun gets closer and warms our faces. And that makes us smile and generates the desire to create within our lives our own new growth. I think this has to be God's plan as no other being on earth could generate such amazing results.

Hi William, thank you for your wonderful comments.  I agree with you.  Spring time always brings out creativity in me and good feelings to see a re-awakening of mother earth.  I truly like all the seasons, but Spring and Fall are my favorites.

Thank you John, I feel the same way.  I just steped out onto my front porch and smelled one of natures best scents and filled my lungs with it.  Such a sense of peace whenever I do so.  The scent is called Daphne, Winter Daphne.  If you have never smelled it I hope sometime you can.  A little slice of heaven by my front porch.  Thank you for reading and commenting.

Mary, thank you for sharing your thoughts on Spring renewal. Just being outside, seeing flowers around, looking up at sunny blue sky is enough to feel energized. Good suggestion on orgainizing your work area - I'm getting to work today. Have a fantastic Spring.

Thank you Elizabeth, I love Spring and each time I walk out my front door and smell the Daphne's sweet smell it makes me feel at peace with the world.  I am always re-organizing my work space as I am a person who lays it all out there when I am working because I am so visual.  However, I do put it away (now) to try and keep it neat for when I sit down again.  Not easy for me.  I hope your Spring is wonderful too.
