I needed to be running out to find some sunshine today. One moment it is there and the next, it is gone. Somehow it got lost in the shuffle last night, most likely when I wasn't paying attention. Behold, here it comes. Step into the sunshine of life, wherever you may be, whatever you are doing. Spring is in the air, for days now and it is a celebration of the senses. How can we deny this truth?
I stepped into the day for my #WednesdayWalk with 
Hive account@tattoodjay, even though I am posting it so late in the day. This particular challenge is a great way to get out and shoot some photos, focus your thoughts, and see what you can see, giving in to a short distance to take a walk. Don't forget to look up and down, and all around. You never know what you might be missing!
It is no big secret that I love flowers and one of my favorite places is Merryfield Garden Center. Wait, let's stop and smell the flowers. Take your time through life, and enjoy those moments...Anyway, Merryfield...They have three stores in the Washington, DC Metro area, and I chose the one located at 8132 Lee Hwy, Falls Church, Virginia, just outside of Washington, DC. They have an antique truck that they are always doing fun things with. Today, they loaded it up and decorated it for spring. Hello? Are you still walking or are you still looking at that truck?
This is the sign they take along when they do a show somewhere or perhaps have a booth in one of the farmer's markets. Many of the workers there are related to the owner, then many others have worked there forever and a day. Does anyone really know how long that is?
The sell plants, trees, cut flowers are something they have now and again... I want to look at them, the freshness of Spring tempting the air. So many coming today. They must know it is a day made for walking. Plus, it is Spring!
I go through the hothouse and look at these beautiful begonias, double begonias, actually. I won't be able to put these in today, but, perhaps I can in a few weeks. Today is simply beautiful and my little piece of the world is a happy place to be. Pour on the sunshine. Be the reason that someone smiles today.
The place is large and filled with the newness that Spring brings. It was a great time to take a #WedensdaayWalk and get a look at what will be needed to add to my garden this year. I am sure I will bring you back here again and again. What?? Did I hear you say you are tired of flowers? Don't you know it is #alwaysaflower with me?
All of their locations are dog friendly, making the walk even more fun. Thank you so much for coming along with me. We walked long enough to clock in 3.7 miles. That is 6km for you people on the other side of the big pond.
Today this post is dedicated to #WednesdayWalk by @Tattoodjay. I want to thank him for hosting this challenge! I like to stroll about, taking in nature and life. What better way to document my day than to take a walk through life? My favorite! Living life and walking. How can you go wrong with that combination?
They had a whole section of different landscaping options. I am a visual person, so I like to see what they have for sale as opposed to just having it described to me.
More beautiful than a rose is the soul that beholds it.

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Some days, it is not as easy to see, just how amazing it really is. Me, I try to do my part. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Shakespeare

Gently waving of feathers in the wind. Light and breezy.
Clearing pleasing. And so, Spring begins. All hail Spring!
