A Word From Anne

Summer's coming, but spring still has plenty of gifts to bestow.

Warmer weather, early sunrises, late sunsets.

With all that daylight, flowers shift from early season delicacy to bright blazing colors and self-assured sizes and shapes.

Here's one, all in glory, reveling in nature's power. Pure life force, shooting forth from soil to make color magic in a blaze of vermilion and hot pink. Green leaves dance with joy below.

Bring this force, the life-giving essence, into your home or office. You'll feel rejuvenated in mere moments, ready to tackle the toughest task on your list!
