The harsh cold weather continues,

but in the sunshine which is getting brighter day by day,

it feels  as if there is a hint  of spring. 

 

Ikebana classes have started to show the cheerfulness  of  spring flower materials

earlier than the actual  coming of spring. 

When we touch fresh and  new  spring plants, it warms us heart  and mind.

While  appreciating each  plant of this spring 

I want to express  the joy of welcoming the new season.
