The Garden State is looking remarkably like the Garden of Eden lately (minus the nude couple and that pesky serpent, of course). The month of May in northern New Jersey is really something beautiful to behold--even more so after the scars of last winter. (I'm still thawing out.)
The official state color right now is definitely pink...
Everybody is out and about, a little giddy with the splendid weather. Kids on new bikes; parents out for long strolls before nightfall; dogs rolling around on their backs in the sunny grass, just begging for belly-rubs.
We're all breathing in the blossomy air as if it were the sweetest perfume.
So, contrary to what you might think (due to some unmentionable "reality" TV shows), New Jersey really is a beautiful Garden State. And, with springtime springing up everywhere we look, it's even more so.
Joyful update: On Tuesday, May 19, I'll be taking part in my second Twitter chat with BlogHer editors about how you can take more professional-looking pictures. Join me on Twitter at 1:00 EST on 5/19/15 and search #BlogHer #Experts. It'll be fun!
