spring beauties found around South New Jersey

Wow, I must admit, I am giddy with excitement over all these luscious blooms in my tiny, suburban neighborhood.  As I mentioned yesterday, April is Stress Awareness Month and I don’t know about you, but I can just feel my stress levels fading into the background every time I get outside in nature. Not to mention, the warming weather does wonders for my psyche.  So, take a gander at these lovely spring blooms and let the tension melt away this beautiful Sunday evening.
