Today marks the sweet spot of a three-week sweet spot that I celebrate every year. My son Scott's birthday falls on Earth Day. Exactly 21 days later … my birthday.
In that little three-week span between late-ish April and nearly-mid-May, in my neck of the woods here in New England, Scott's birthday is marked by the first barely-there lime-green confetti-like evidence of tree leaves unfurling from buds. By my birthday lush foliage has made itself known and we find ourselves in a world made new, with canopies overhead and horizons brought close with maturing greenery that's filled the empty spaces of winter.
Magic, I tell ya.
What better time—positioned as I am today at the midpoint of the transformation—to share the large canvas I've worked on sporadically over the past few months?

Tree LOVE :)
A true confetti of leaves to welcome in the spring! Happy days!
I wasn't sure this one was going to make it to any kind of finish line but it is now hanging in our freshly updated guest bedroom. Thanks for your tree love, Sheila!
Indeed, happy days, Carol! I just LOVE the gift of this time of renewal. I appreciate your appreciation of the confetti of leaves : )
