It comes and goes
That smiling sunshine
I wish it would stay
Longer than a day
One day I’m in boots
The next in sandels
One day its raincoats
The next sunglasses
Oregon springtime
Its a guessing game

Searching
For daily insights
Walking in the sunshine
Listening as nature speaks
I find
No confusion among the trees
Nor dissention amid
Birds, animals
And flowers

Yesterday’s sunshine,
Was washed away overnight.
Rain clouds now I see.
What difference a day makes!
Things change so quickly.
Moments turn to memories,
Reminding me to:
Capture the sunny days,
Before they fade away.

Yesterday was 72 degrees, sunny, no wind, and a wonderful day to be outside in nature. Today is 52 degrees, rainy, chilly and cloudy. A great day to huddle inside and read or write.
Therefore, I am thankful I was able to capture some of yesterday’s sunshine in the video above as I happened to be outside in the right place at the right time! 😊
This video is now delightful to watch on this rainy cloudy chilly day that has arrived. Hope it brightens your day also wherever you may be.
Ah, Sunshine and flowers
Are most wondrous things
Among which I can sit for hours
Ah, Sunshine and flowers
Watered by springtime showers
Sweetest sererinty brings
Ah, Sunshine and flowers
Are most wondrous things

NaPoWriMo Day 12–Prompt: Triolet
Sitting here on my couch
Gazing out my window
Things quiet and serene
Sunshine steaming down
Upon the daffodils
Birds happily feasting
As squirrel scurries by
Nature seems content
Not a worry nor care
Oh that we were there

“Nature doesn’t hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” – Lao Tzu
This quote was on the tag of my favorite herbal tea bag. Ah, yes, that mankind could model nature…
Neighbor
And I had a
Delightful walk today
Inspite of all the troubling news
We saw
Colorful flowers blooming and
Cheerful sidewalk art
On display in the
Sunshine

First day of Spring
Sun is shining bright
Daffodils
Sashaying
To the music of songbirds
In the gentle breeze

Blessings to all my family, friends and followers!
I hope you are all are experiencing a delightful First Day of Spring wherever you are at this time.
I do pray for those in quarantine and lockdown that they can still look outside and see the beauty of nature and for those who are shut in with illnesses at this time I pray for your speedy recovery as well.
Green shoots popping up,
Patches of yellow abound,
Spring has come again!

I felt like Chicken Little today as everywhere I went I kept saying “ Spring is here! Spring is here!”
It may not say Spring yet on the calendar but it was very present all around my area today.
I was seeing patches of yellow daffodils in my neighbors yards and green shoots of more to come soon, hearing birds singing and lawnmowers humming, smelling fresh cut grass and enjoying the bright sunshine! What a delightful change from the damp, dark, cold days of winter!
Yes, Spring weather is here and I am enjoying every moment of it!
Seeking better days,
With some sunshine in life?
Looking for the light?
Are you standing in the sun
Or sitting in the shadows?

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.” —Helen Keller
Wearing
Rainy day blues.
Energy wanes as
Mundane thoughts hover like clouds.
Suddenly!
The raindrops seem to evaporate
And grey sky disappears!
Sunshine brings
Rainbow.
