may // spring's crescendo

it starts with a note. 
one note. 
on a white canvas. 
small and insignificant. 
softly and sweetly, quietly it begins. 
'tis but a slight noise, yet the beginning of a masterpiece composed of trills and bases. 
each a separate melody.

amidst the sunshine and blossoms, the trills and twitters, there is a sound. 
softly it began with each delicate bloom, until a crescendo is strummed. 
color bursts onto the white canvas, how small and insignificant it began.
fluttering on wings made of hope and dreams, 
bluer now the sky nears, lovelier the treetops appear
each piece has a melody, each season a crescendo. 
do you stop to listen to the orchestra outside the window? 

purple sunflare // yellow tea roses // breath-taking sunsets // sewing projects // floral wrapping paper // dreams of the future // new life // flea market finds // vintage letters // afternoons at the theatre  
is it a wonder I returned? 
but I have. and I am happy. have a million photographs to share, and stories to tell. 
in that, I'm a bit overwhelmed as my favorite photo editing program shut down, my studies have just realized that 'tis my final quarter and jamming everything they didn't seem to "have time" to fit into this final month, birthday present making, summer agendas planning, and a new blog design that must somehow take place soon. 
and, may has finally graced the calendar. spring's crescendo, summer's prologue. another chapter to be written. 

what flowers have grown in my absence
lovingly,
the girl happy to be back in her garden.

  9. what a lovely homecoming! thank you all, so much!

    @ Sophia and Rosi, yes, I have tried PicMonkey...the only problem is it is SO SO SO slow when I load the edited pictures into my computer...don't know why, but it's starting to grow on me. I'm attempting to learn how to use Gimp, though.

    @ Laura, yes, dear I wrote it and thank you! I'll be writing you an e-mail soon...so sorry it's taken me so long to reply. :P

    again, thank you to everyone who has wished me a warm homecoming! I have most definitely missed my little garden. ;)

    love always,
    Grace, the keeper of the garden.
