Springtime in the Midwest

As I drive along the roads in America my mind goes off in all directions. Yesterday, I drove through Missouri, Illinois and today I am in Indiana. The woods are full of budding trees- neon pink Red Bud and white Dogwood peeking out from the darkness of the dense woods. As I drive I see Mother Nature and all her beauty – the trees, the flowers, the fields, the birds, the sky, the homesteads, the GREEN.Susan Tyler, one of favorite artists, gave me notice to all the greens in Colorado. We need to have another conversation about the greens seen in the Midwest! Moisture creates its own greenery.

It is apparent that much of the Midwest is in a late start spring. When I arrived in central Indiana a full spring picture was my joy! Full on fruit trees blooming, lilacs in white, blue and purple are bursting forth. Maple trees are brightly rust colored and the hardwoods are bursting with green growth. All I can say is SPRING is so very beautiful and I am pleased to be experiencing different kinds of spring.

I am here in Bloomington until Thursday (4/25) when I fly to New York City.
Thanks for coming along on this journey of change and transitions..
