Green Valley Aromatherapy – April 2022

Dear Aromatherapy Friends,
Welcome to wonderful April. Between bouts of spring showers, there is a flurry of activity, by humans and seemingly all other creatures great and small. A cacophony of nature sounds greet us in the morning, and tease us throughout the day. The forests surrounding our city are buzzing with life ~ from the hummingbirds courtship diving and chirping, to the Steller’s Jays vocalizations and the Chickadee’s and Robins search for nesting material. The bee’s are becoming more active too, hoping people haven’t been to hasty in cleaning up their early food source in the form of dandelions which provide both pollen and nectar.
April is truly a special month.
Wishing you all well,
Barb Greenwood
