Thank you, Roland. Did you notice the sunflowers at the bottom? Remembering the elderly lady who "offered" sunflower seeds to the Russian soldier! https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=sunflower+seeds+ukraine&view=detail&mid=CD22FEE54ED5B57A6E68CD22FEE54ED5B57A6E68&FORM=VIRE

How can I forget? “If you are a Russian soldier, come to Ukraine to die”

I have come to love so many people here on Substack and you, my dear Lynell, are one of those people. Here on Greg’s site, and also on Heather’s and Lucian’s, there are so many sweet, smart, and good-hearted people. Thank you, Greg, for hosting such wonderful people. Like attracts like.

That's a Japanese cherry (Prunus serrulata), and it is beautiful!

Morning to you, Lynell! It is glorious in So Cal today. I’m trying to stay positive, and the beauty of spring keeps my hope alive that bleak seasons come and go, but there’s always April.

I believe you're right! Assuming these do not produce actual cherries, as this tree does not.

Taking a break and posting a beautiful picture gives all of us an opening to appreciate you and each other (and Mama Nature, the planetary being which provides us the material substance for this human body which clothes our essence).

It seems unfair that tree only blooms two or three weeks out of the year. It's really striking!

And when it does, I really do try and soak it up. I spent most of the day yesterday under the tree!
