Day 23…signs of life

A new little tree always stops me and has me wanting to say hello. They are usually growing in small clusters, not too far from the mother tree. And they are healthy and small and I want to celebrate them and smell them and touch them. Whenever I see one, which is daily, I think of the embroidery piece we have at home, by Dee Nelson and the quote written below it.

You can find Dee’s work in Bear River, Nova Scotia at The Flight of Fancy. Each tender piece has a beautiful quote beneath the embroidery. Dee also has a book called Soul Strings, Codhill Press, 2010. (Excuse the photo. The pieces are wonderfully framed and matted, but I was getting a lot of reflection in my original photo.)
