A Year of Gratitude – May 14, 2024

I found my gratitude today in the first signs of blooms on our Korean Spice Viburnum. These tightly held buds hold blooms that will open soon and show us their beauty.

Each spring, this plant produces mounds of delicate pink and white blooms. They don’t last long, but they are such a delight during their short season. Not only are they beautiful, but they have a lovely, light fragrance that wafts on the breeze as it passes them by.

Seeing these buds means that the flowers are soon to come. It means that there is something beautiful to look forward to. Seeing them put a smile on my face at the thought of them.

It won’t be long now until I can share a photo of the cluster of open blooms with you. I look forward to that day. It will be here soon enough.
