QG,
I've been seeing some wildflowers, but they have only started blooming in places with a good southern exposure. Like my little Pink Maids. Will attach photo.

I love these.

". . . when people have light in themselves, it will
shine out from them. Then we get to know each
other a we walk together in the darkness, without
needing to pass our hands over each other's faces, or
to intrude into each other's hearts."
~Albert Scheitzer (1875-1965)~

"We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship
is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there
is at last a drop which makes it run over, so in a
series of kindnesses there is at least one which makes
the heart run over."
~James Boswell, (1740-1795)~

"First of all things, for friendship, there must be that
delightful, indefinable state called felling at ease
with your companion, the one man, the one woman
out of a multitude who interests you, who meets
your thoughts and tastes."
~Julia Duhring~

"Then little by little we discover one friend, in the midst of the crowd of friends, who is particularly happy to be with us and to whom, we realize, we have an infinite number of things to say. She is not the top of the class, she is not particularly well thought of by the others, she does not wear showy clothes . . . and when we are walking home with her we realize that her shoes are identical to ours - strong and simple, not showy and flimsy like those of our other friends . . . "
~Natalia Ginzburg, b. 1916 from "The Little Virtues"~

Last one for now, but I saved the best for last. : - )

"Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say,
but in melody."
~Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)~

Love the melodies! : - )

Walk In Beauty!
