I feel joy when it’s spring and when I see joyful creations on my walks, including the joy created by my neighbor Rob, whose artwork has appeared in many of my blog posts.
Yesterday, when I was taking photos of the latest joyful creations from Rob, his wife Martha invited me inside their home to see Rob’s studio and their two new joy-giving cats.

The early spring blooms bring me much joy too, Debbie.
Magnolias! (I came back just to see them again)
It’s such a joy to see you here, Maureen.
