Open your pretty petals, little flowers. Sprout your leaves, reach out with your boughs and twigs, mighty trees. Feel the sap rising. Take a deep breath, suck in the raindrops, bask in the sun, delve deeply with your roots and grow - strong, beautiful, vibrant. You fill me with joy and hope, my Substack brothers and sisters, friends and family.

There are no real seasons here in this part of the tropics. Mild isn't really it, though December and January can be slightly cooler. It is either hot and dry ot hot and wet. We are moving from hot and dry to hot and wet.. Young plants have to service drought or flood or both. Wise plants learn to frow rapidly. I have watched plants grow minute to minute - literally 2 or 3 feet in an hour.
2-3 feet in an hour? Wowsa…the rest of your description of your adopted homeland is lovely. May the birds sing and the monkeys and elephants return (if they’re good neighbors). Cheers, dear Ray!

You fill me and the crew with joy and hope as well, dear Ray. May your Spring be mild…and wild if you like. At least with some wild flowers. :-*
