Spring blooms

My gardenias are starting to bloom. I love this time of year. In Florida, it’s the time when it’s starting to get warmer and we are savoring every last breeze we feel. Some days it’s already too hot to be outside. But this week it’s been glorious.

There is so much going on these days. Swim lessons are in full swing, school testing is happening across our state right now and we’re making final plans for what our summer will be like. It’s already mid-April. Time is flying by. I’m not sure how to make it slow down. I don’t have that power, but what I do have is the ability that no matter how busy I am I can stop and take a moment to smell the flowers.

Stop to savor the last bits of spring.
