It's a lovely time of year - went for a long walk yesterday and noticed all the hedgerow blossom coming out. I worship anything that lifts the spirits like spring blossom. XCathy
ReplyDeleteCathy - Yes it truly does lift the spirit. The blossom on our apple tree is itching to bloom any day now I hope & that I truly shall worship.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know what you mean! I am loving all the beauty and blossoms of spring. Wonderful quote!
ReplyDeleteSunday - I love that blossom is short lived but in so many of our countries. Glad you like this quote.
