I'm definitely sensing a pattern here... each prior month's wrap-up and review seems to be getting done in the middle of the following month. Which at least means I'm posting monthly, so I'm going to call that a good thing!
Spring has finally arrived in full force in my neck of the woods:
These photos were taken May 3, 2018 when the Kwansan Cherry tree was in full bloom. Normally this tree is the late bloomer for Spring, following about a month behind everything else. But this year nothing bloomed in normal succession... usually we would get the early flowers (daffodils and crocuses) along with the forsythia, followed a week later by Bradford pear trees, the the dogwoods, plums, etc. And finally the cherry trees. And the whole process would take a good month or more. But this year... everything bloomed in ONE WEEK. It was kinda nuts. Last week I read a newspaper headline that said "Particularly Chilly April Brings Extreme Pollen" - yes, extreme because last week my house, my car, everything around here was covered in yellow/green pollen dust! When you see this happen you have to wonder about the perhaps-less-enlightened people who believe that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese.
April's assignment for One Little Word was a sticky note exercise to explore what our word means to us. I have to admit, I didn't "play" along.
The FIT class creative prompt was a vision board. I was ahead of the curve on this one and had created and shared mine in March. You can
see it here.
Between work travel and a particularly bad fibro flare at the end of the month, April was not a stellar month for me. I didn't get in nearly as much exercise OR play as I would have liked. That said, there was still a lot of good in the month and a lot to be grateful for.
Let me close with a couple of playful intuitive vision boards that I made just for fun:

Once a month posting is okay by me! I always enjoy them! Your cherry tree is spectacular! Does it make for good cut flowers?
Always good to see a new post has come up - once a month is better than once every two months! That pollen sounds awful - I'm not sure it would do my hay fever any favours.
That's certainly a beautiful tree! I don't think I've ever made a vision board. I used to do collage, and had a whole file of photos for it. I'm betting when I do the next search and purge it might show up. I know I need a solid block of time for that, and I don't see one coming any time soon. Your boards are such fun.
