Considering the Lilies...

I just enjoyed a wonderful walk downtown. Spring's blossoms are lingering a little and it's a wonderous thing to enjoy. I noticed "baby" oak leaves today that hung so beautifully like lace upon the tree. It makes you pause when you consider all the wonderous little miracles you see every moment of the day... not to mention those amazing senses that God has blessed us with! There's a famous verse that says that we should consider the lilies and remember not to worry... Sometimes it's hard to remember, but I think I'm going to try to enjoy the blossoms and remember that every flower has a season to bloom!

Spring has sprung and wants to turn into Summer... but winter's holding on strong...

I've been walking a lot on these beautiful spring days. I like walking up the hills and around town. So far, I've walked at least once the whole way to the other end of town, but most days, I've been out walking and wandering for an hour or two a day on these beautifully bright days. I like Springs like this in which the snow stays to cover the mud until it's time to warm up... but in a way... I'd like the spring time blooms to linger... to stay more than a day... because we've been waiting so long... and now it's here and now it's gone. Springs a little like vacation... we look forward to it... but the blooms never seem to last as long as we would like. But I guess that's what makes us enjoy the blooms so much!
Tomorrow snowflakes are supposed to appear again...and it's funny how the first snowflakes bring joy and excitement...but these ones...aren't as well received. We're ready for the next event in life...and yes...we're starting to long for the lazy hazy days of summer.
