“Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved.”
Zen saying
I love this quote!
So true, how our perceptions of each day and every experience can make all the difference.
Speaking of mysteries, is there anything more amazing than the wonder of the first flowers of spring?
I’m a big tulip fan! I love to see the “new arrivals” each spring.
For now, here’s one from the photo file. 
Happy Weekend!
PS: I am testing the waters with a new blog idea (yes, just what I need, another blog) 
this would be a weekly prompt blog.

Geraldine, we’re in the midst of a snowstorm here – seven fresh inches of the white stuff – so it’s extra welcome to be reminded that under that cold white blanket are my tulips, crocus, daffodils and puschkinia are having their winter slumber ready to bloom in just weeks from now!
Have a beautiful weekend!

Even as I watch the snow I can visualise the tulips and snowdrops. Roll on Spring.

Oh G., how I love this, so perfectly true, and I can’t wait to see flowers again, I yearn for flowers, I yearn for colours and that is why I made my first purchase on Etsy a handmade colourfull area carpet, and I can’t wait. I love spending money on new , real new stuff for my new life, and thank you always, and Ilove tulips they are the first to welcome, us then the lilac, I will miss my tree I planted and pray they don’t build over it…..still I love the quote

Hi Talon, It’s hard to imagine the weather in the East right now as we watch the last of the snow go down the drains here. It was plus 8C this past week and another warm week on the way. I love your beautiful description of the bustling underground.
I’m sure your weather will warm up soon too.
Hi Joe, And what beautiful colors they come in!
Hi Valerie, Oh yes, roll on spring! It’s going to be a good one, I just know it. I’m not familiar with snowdrops, I hope you’ll share a pic at your blog if possible.
Hi Lorraine, I yearn for color and flowers too! Your new carpet sounds great, I love Etsy. And tulips. And lilacs!! I really LOVE lilacs, for their beauty and most of all, the amazing, unmistakeable scent. Talk about nature’s miracles!
Happy Week, G
