Organic Green Smoothie

 

It seems cold winter is loosening its grip. New leaves begin to sprout and colorful blossoms appear on dogwoods, plums, ornamental cherries, apples, Pomegranate trees etc. in our home town.  

The days are getting longer and brighter with day light saving time. Yes, it's the first day of  Spring, the season for new beginning. After a rainy winter flowering plants bloom in our yard. Squirrels are running around and we hear birds chirping in the backyard.
