The plants want us to love them!

 

"Every morning, arising from the death of sleep, the happy plants . . . seem to be shouting, 'Awake, awake, rejoice, rejoice, come love us and join in our song.  Come!  Come!' "

The Contemplative John Muir

The snow is finally beginning to melt around the subalpine lakes, and fresh wildflowers are springing up!
