Pear Tree Petals

It looked like snow
minus the chill
it gave a little girl a thrill
to toss the petals in the air
and let them fall
in her hair
her heart is prepared for spring
with all of natures lovely things

I wrote this in the car line today. Cara was having so much fun with the pear tree petals. I even let her bring them in the van.
I love how children look at nature and how they enjoy it. It reminds me to do the same.
Enjoy the pear trees this spring!

Hi Christy!
Being from Indiana, I really appreciate your reflections. Living in Florida now - just a little over 5 years, I have often become complacent to the beauty that surrounds me. I forget that in many other areas of the country/world...the seasons bring brand new moments to cherish.
Thanks for taking me back and reminding me to appreciate the beauty around us.

Love,

W~
