The daffodils bloomed today.

I stepped outdoors and was greeted by these little surprises - the first blooms of spring. 🌷

I was traveling this past week and happened to come across this great mural.

I'm continually seeking things that are beautiful to see and read. Pondering what is good and beautiful amidst all kinds of challenges and uncertain times keeps me sane and grounded. Art, poetry, and nature are three of those things.

I visited DC just over a week ago, and sadly it was a bit too soon for the full cherry blossoms, but I had a wonderful time visiting family & friends, seeing a few sights (Jefferson Memorial, Washington National Cathedral, Planet Word Museum/Lexicon Lane) & eating delicious food.

I've been practicing Spanish on Duolingo and I got this message yesterday which made me laugh: "You made 0 mistakes. Unlike in real life." Haha! Truth coming out from Duolingo. LOL 😂
