Spring is in the Air!

Each spring, anticipation overcomes me.  I am ready for the temperatures to warm up, the birds to sing, and the flowers to bloom.  I love spring!  It has to be the best season of the year. New life springs up all around us and reminds us that God is ultimately in control. Over the weekend, I observed the first signs of spring.  The daffodils field is sprinkled with splashes of yellow.  Soon, it will be a solid mass of beautiful daffodils.  I guess I better get sewing on my children's Easter outfits so we can have our annual picture taken in the daffodils!

Last week, I started our tomato seeds, in hopes that they will sprout soon.  Well, that day arrived!  All of the little seeds burst through the soil and tiny new plants have emerged!  I am still fascinated that our God can program a little seed, and it knows when the moisture, temperature and conditions are right for life! These seeds were from last year, so I was afraid they would not sprout, but they did!  We will have a tremendous amount of tomatoes if all of these plants make it to maturity.




New life has emerged!


What a great weekend we enjoyed!  The gift of great weather was enjoyed by all!  We played outside, and my children were so tired they dozed off during supper.  In my book, that equals a very successful day!  This morning, the Little Man slept until 7:30!  That is an awesome feat since he is usually up by 6:00. He was so exhausted last night, he fell asleep in his high chair, and it was only 7:00. 

Today, Pickles is out of school for a teacher's meeting.  I am contemplating an adventure with just the two children in tow.  I will let you know how it turns out!

Until next time,  keep adventuring and looking for joy in the small details of life!
