I believe that spring is coming! I believe we will survive this virus! I believe we will hug our friends again! And I believe in little girls that paint rocks with kind words to share with their neighbors! #kindness #spring #daffodils #paintedrocks #gardening #getoutside #nature #paintmorerocks #horticulture
