Celebrating Spring together

This gorgeous prunus blooming next to the Royal Theatre of Den Haag and it stated that this tree has been given a 'second chance of life'; it writes that it has cured from disease, and apparently it's been adopted here and rewards that with this bloom. Today I received many phonecalls from friends and relatives as I have my birthday; thankful for growing older, but I wish the years didn't run that fast :-) The eve I spent with my Benjamin and his Love and we're surprised the new Pope was already elected and hope that Pope Leo XIV will have a helpful impact on the world. His initial words "Peace be with you all / Pax cum omnibus vobis" are interpreted as saying much about his reign to come. And I consider them as a welcome surprise gift on my birthday.
