I’ve just read it all three times. So lovely to remember reading the comments when they were posted. Bringing them all together is a wonderful way to recall feel of the month.

This morning the poem is tuning me into the here and now..... watching black caps, bluebirds, sparrows and blackbirds busy feeding, tree leaf buds bursting, cherry blossom raining down and other blossom emerging. Magic. Thank you.

Gorgeous 🥰 I love seeing the transition and so many comments sparked memories of the year so far. So many beautiful descriptions too 🥰

The sense of transition in these is just so beautiful - still lots of rain and mud as you say, but we start in winter, with the light filtering in over the weeks until everything is alive and springing by the end of the month! Glorious! Happy Easter 🐣

Oh that is just soooo soul lifting and so life affirming. I’m so touched by that last sentence of the poem ….. I love the promised hope of life that this time of year brings to my soul. As you can imagine, that touches me at the deepest level. Thank you! ❤️

So beautiful! and although I read the comments every week, there were a lot there that I had missed, as well as lovely reminders of the ones I did read.

It feels like a choir singing all the different parts in harmony from round the world!

Lovely clouds of blossom. Yearning for that. Nowt but cold, grey skies this Easter here. Bravely I planted some kale seedlings, and new thymes. Fi gers crossed. Still too early for frosts.
