Welcome to Seasonal Sundays #41!
I’m so excited to share my new button for Seasonal Sundays with you!
My oldest daughter is my technical advisor and she decided that I shouldn’t be changing my Seasonal Sundays button with each season, but rather come up with one that would suit all seasons. Well, not only does she have marvelous technical skills, but she also has great creative ones. With minor input from Mom, she created my new button, representing each of the four seasons in one of my favorite shapes – a teapot!
Be sure to grab the new button.
Today is the first day of Spring! Hurrah! After the winter we’ve had, we all need some SPRING!
Here on Long Island, New York, Spring is coming ever so gently. It’s hard to believe that these little buds with turn into fragrant glorious Lilac blossoms.
And very very soon these sticks and tiny buds will…
… be covered in bright yellow bursts of Forsythia.
This tiny fury bud will burst forth is a glorious pinky peach Camellia.
These little buds amongst the brown sticks will become an Autumn Glory Sedum. We’ll have to wait almost six months to see it’s flowers.
Before long this tight little bud will be a lovely purple Rhododendron. It’s hard to believe these buds were formed late last Spring when it stopped blooming.
My Daffodils seem to be bit slower than most. I’ve seen some in full bloom near us.
This little Hyacinth will push it’s bloom up. I can’t remember if this one is pink or purple.
Some of the masses of these tiny tiny buds of…
…Mountain Laurel have already bloomed. So many strands of perfect blooms.
What an amazing world we live in. What an wonderful God we are blessed with. From patches of dull come little buds filled with incredible grace and beauty. While my heart goes out to those in Japan, I cannot help but wonder why such hardship and devastation is upon them, while millions upon millions of minor miracles surround us. May God be with them.

love the new button -- I'm grabbing it now!
It is so lovely to see signs of spring on so many blogs. It is a rainy and miserable day here in Brisbane, Australia and your post has certainly brightened my day!
Best wishes and thanks so much for having me.
Natasha.
Oh, I know you are excited about all the new green poking their little heads up all around you. Our season is a little later than yours.
Thanks so much for always hosting this wonderful meme.

I anxiously await the first signs ! I was surprised to see things blooming last week when we were in. Amazing the difference 80 miles makes.
Happy Spring, A.!
Love the button!
I think each one of us so far has linked a post about spring. Ours is in full swing. My hyacinths have already bloomed, the daffodils are waving gracefully, and even my bluebonnets are in bloom. I'm happy spending hours in the garden again.
Love the new button! ~ Sarah

I love your new button, I copied it and I will start using it next week. Very clever and practical of your daughter coming out with the idea. Glad it's finally warming up there. Amazing how plants can come back and be so lovely after looking so dead. God is amazing! Happy Spring!...Christine
It's so exciting to see the rebirth of our flowers in the spring. Thanks for hosting the party!

Hi, I'm a first timer at your party, but glad to be here. Thank you for hosting. I love Spring...I walk my garden every morning to see what has sprouted.
The new button is great! We are still waiting for snow to melt in Iowa but spring will be here before we know it. We had a little preview of it today. :)
Thanks for hosting Seasonal Sundays! I have linked again this week.
Oh My Gosh,
Look at the beautiful posts for Seasonal Sunday. WOW!!! Thank you so much for visiting My Cozy Corner. I love joining your party on Sunday. And, your new button is precious. Out goes the old and in comes the new. Beautiful job. You have a very talented daughter. I love daughters.

Oh I LOVE the new button - so pretty! You photos are great. I almost didn't get here to link up. Thanks for hosting. laurie
Better late than never! I love your new button. Sometimes I have trouble with my goofy iWeb format, getting them cooperate, and I have no sidebar. I will use it if I can.
So true, your thoughts re Japan.
Looks like spring is on it's way! Since you live on Long Island I am wondering if you go to Old Westbury Gardens or the Planting Fields-they are both so beautiful!
Thank you for hosting,
Carolyn
I was linking up on the road yesterday and lost my connection, but had to come back today to say how much I love the new button! Isn't wonderful having your very own tech squad in house! LOL. I have three! One would think I could keep a web connection while traveling! Have a happy spring, and thank you for hosting.
