Spring has sprung - Fragrance evokes memories of which we have many

Dear Babyboomer
My house is fragrant with the perfume of spring. Therefore it is full of memories since to me, fragrance is the ultimate trigger.

"Spring has sprung
The grass is ris
Please tell me where
The birdies is"

The change of seasons has to be a most evocative time as nature demonstrates the dynamic cycle of life. The exact opposite happening at the same time, in different hemispheres, is a reminder of the world's rotation, our dependence on amazing, ongoing cycles, emphasising the need to be keep nature in balance. It is also a renewal - an opportunity to start again - to do it better.

Several attempts at the music behind these spring images, gathered over the last few weeks, didn't feel right for different reasons - this Jethrow Tull Flute is edgy, combined with harmonious. I thought this described the process of change.
As a Granny - well a Nonna, I love to share with a child the everchanging beauty which surrounds us, and help them to be aware of the fragility of our planet. This is an essential role of the Matriach.
