I can’t believe it! It’s actually almost spring, here in the Northern part of Northwest America.
But I am excited about it. Waking up in predawn mornings with the sun filtering through wispy morning clouds, the cool air breezing through my open window bringing birdsong melodies – refreshing and invigorating.
I for one, am happy to embrace both the new day and the glorious beginnings of Earth’s annual renewal! Time to rethink my own personal regrowth and renewal. Overdue, actually.
It has become far too easy for all of us to get caught up in the same “everyness” of things happening in our daily lives.
Right now, small changes can truly make a difference for you when you feel in a bit of a rut.
Think about it, make it happen – You Can Do it!
Have a great week,

The Why About This 
You are always the gentle nudge I need Penny! This was as good as that first cup of coffee in the morning. Thanks!
Hello LuAnn. Thank you. I like being compared to a nice first cup of morning coffee, lol! 🙂
Nothing better, except having that first cup of coffee while reading your posts! 🙂
Always inspired when I come here and beautiful pics of spring, I forgot what that may look like (smiles), we are having another snowstorm here tonight so spring is far away yet.
Hi Debby, thank you! Hopefully your storm will be the last for you until next winter! xx
Here’s to hoping, it is just brutal outside.:(
I’m so excited– I’m soooooo sick of this cold weather.
You and me both. The weather has been very nice here in the last few days – how’s yours doing?
It’s been very nice, but turned cold here this evening– it should blow out in a day or two, I hope. It’s been perfect motorcycle weather for about 5 days. 🙂
We should always be in a state of renewal and growth. To be otherwise is to be stagnant. Thanks again, Penny, for the inspiration!
Yes, I agree with you Alejandro. I hope all is well in your part of the world! xx
Nice post! I love the bird photo! Amazing!
I love the new layout of your blog! Much better than the last!
Hugs to you Penny – ^..^ B
Hi Barb! Thank you, I am so glad you like my new layout. I think it suits me better than the previous one! Big hugs to you dear friend! 🙂 xx
A very nice posting Penny 🙂
Andro xxxx
Hi Andro, thanks my friend. Hope your week is being a good one! 🙂 xox
Your spring is so much sooner than mine but your photos make me anticipate mine:)
Isn’t it great!? Here in southern California we normally have mild weather…but it has been well into the 80’s much of this Winter! But after our recent rains, I see buds sprouting all over and lots of birds becoming active. 🙂
It is! I’m loving it. The whole gorgeous thing! Thanks for stopping by, I hope you keep enjoying your week ahead! 🙂
Beautiful shots Penny
with love maxima
Thank you Stefan. Very nice to see you here. Much love to you, Penny xo
Yay I love the spring. It has just about sprung here as well 🙂
I also love the spring! I’m definitely up for the change, glad to hear it’s happening over there also! 🙂
I took loads of photos today so will share them tomorrow. May even take some more first 😀
The smell of spring is wonderful
Way to go! Yes it is wonderful! Full of newness and floral fragrances.
I figured yesterday that Spring is my favourite time of the year.
I love the photo of the beautiful bird on the thorny limb.

Hi Russ. Me too! Birds are absolutely wonderful to view and hear, aren’t they, my friend! xx
So close I can almost feel it. 🙂
You too – Have a great week!
xo 🙂 🙂 xo
Mostly here, RoSy! I guess you have one more storm to get through right around the middle of the week. I hope it’s of very short duration and that spring then swoops right in and pushes winter out – along with your migraine! 🙂 xo
This time of year is so exciting!
Hi Nancy. In the Northwest, nothing can be finer (well almost) than Portland and surrounding areas in the springtime. Right there with you (I wish)! xx
There is a lot to be said for spring, and the cleaning that is often associated with it. Each year I work on deep cleaning the house, and picturing what each area represents, and mentally projecting how it will get better.
Merry Spring, Northwest friend 🙂
I hear you, re: the spring (deep cleaning) definitely a renewal there too.
A Most Merry Spring you also and thanks and a hug (for good measure)! 🙂
Beautiful shots Penny 🙂
Hi Andy, thank you my friend! Have an excellent rest of your week! 🙂
And you as well Penny 🙂
I promise! 🙂
