ah the smell
of gorse blooming
here in the wetlands
the circle of seasons
continues to bring us peace

Wishing you all a happy Monday and a peaceful new week,

I have seen four American Robins today and a chipmunk ( just out of hibernation) at the base of the bird feeder. Spring will come. The circle of the seasons : peace and also hope.

There is something calming and peaceful in the fact that nature continues in her endless circle. I had to look up the gorse shrub. I had never heard of it before. It’s very pretty and a sure sign of spring. I love your description of the smell that you gave to Laurie. It must be heavenly.
