Today is dark and cloudy with occasional rain showers. It seems like the perfect day to reminisce about the lovely sunshiny spring days I enjoyed last week.
,My grandmother's birthday would have been on Monday May 26th. I attribute my love of nature to her. She is the one who taught me how to plant tulip bulbs and helped me identify the springtime flowers I found growing in the woods. I learned the names of birds from her and spent warm summer days picking blackberries on the hillside behind the cottage with her that would be baked into a pie. I miss her, She taught me so much and it is a joy to remember her on her birthday.
