I wanted to say "omen" but that word has negative connotations.
Today I went with a friend only a few miles south of where we live here in northern NJ. We were visiting a shop where I was to pick up a planter--an antique wicker planter, to be specific.
When we got out of the car, I was surprised to see the little garden that runs alongside the shop. There was a clump of croci blooming and hovering above it, an honest-to-goodness, real live honeybee!
Mother Nature sending a message of good things to come?
