Well, if it wasn't evident in my last post, it’s definitely very evident this time around!! Spring has sprung!!! We’ve been keeping so busy, pruning trees, weeding and raking, fixing some broken steps/gates/rock walls, and getting ready for nice weather….which at first, I was thinking it was going to rain all Spring… but the rains finally took a break, the sun came out, and the weather the past several days has been glorious…. Sunny and in the upper 60’s-lower 70’s. I started taking pictures over the past month or so and these are just a few of my favorites…. A few of the delightfully fragrant Hyacinths. This is one of 3 ornamental cherry trees on our property. This one has already leafed out with purplish red leaves!! I would have never guessed what this interesting tree is….can you?

ReplyDeleteMy first time here from Katie's site! Such a peaceful image, Ann! And, yes, I think on that scripture daily ... and of His peace. It takes effort to keep our mind steadfast with all the busy-ness in our lives, but somehow it happens, and I am grateful! Where would we be, what would our lives be like without that strong high tower to run to! That's where we find the rest we so need ... only in His presence!! Your site is wonderful with so much to check out ... my first stop, 'The Happy Wives Club' that I noticed down there in the left hand corner! I love quotes - especially positive ones!! :) You have a blessed week, and I look forward to visiting again!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found me Deborah! I also so thankful for God's peace that passes all understanding! You'll love Fawn's posts at the Happy Wives Club, too! She's an awesome lady! Come on back here soon!
