After my venture out to walk yesterday, I realized I must have new walking shoes. I guess I'll finally use that gift card Bobby gave me for Christmas; I've been saving it for something special.
On my way to church this morning, I noticed the dogwood tree by our house is suddenly in bloom, as are little dogwoods peeping out through the woods all over. That's how the wild white dogwoods do.....all of a sudden, the woods are alight, as if God turned on a switch. I love this time of year.
I noted one small azalea bloom on our bush near the garage yesterday. This morning, there are azalea bushes everywhere full of pinks and whites and all shades of purple and red.
One morning soon, I'll be on my way to work and the wild wisteria vines will be hanging full of their purple clusters. Wisteria takes over the trees like kudzu. The purple blooms don't last long, maybe a couple of weeks at most. But while they're out, the yards and fields around here will be full of color. Dogwoods, azaleas, and wisteria all in bloom at once. Bob says one day we will wreck because I am distracted by spring in bloom.
So, the new shoes.....I'll go for some matching color, a pink or purple. It may be a day or two. My shins may have to hurt for a bit longer till I make the pilgrimage to the JCP store. Meanwhile, I'll be watching the blooms grow and spread and love that I live in this place during spring.
