Sometimes a sudden trip is all we need and the past is one place you can go. Two years ago I made a quick decision to visit friends in Fairfield Iowa. Before we met up, I stopped off at Chautauqua Park. The cherry and redbud trees were in full bloom and the air was filled with the sweet smell of flowers.

As blooms filled the air,  spring beauties and wood violets speckled the ground.

There were flowers almost everywhere I looked.

 

I must have been under this tree for at least an hour, lol.

 

 

After an hour or so at the park, I finally met up with my friends at the town square. There weren’t any flowers there but ourselves ;). See you next week!
