Beautiful Spring has taken up residence here again in the mountains. It is always a joy to see everything begin to bloom. So much like our lives, even when everything looks dead, there is growth and new life just waiting to burst forth. All we have to do is wait on the perfect timing of our loving Father.
Louie is home, and we are so happy to have him back. He has tilled up the ground for our garden, and we are just waiting on some plants to be on sale at the garden centers. Can't wait for those fresh veggies and herbs! I'll also be replanting my container gardens on the deck...which we are going to paint, I've been told.
If you haven't experienced Spring in the NC mountains, it is sure worth a trip! Everyone raves about the fall leaves, but the Springtime is so beautiful! First thing we see are the bright yellow daffodils, then some type of little purple flower blooms outside my kitchen window. Then our favorite thing - big white Bradford Pear trees - stunning against the still brown mountains. The light purple blooms on the Japanese Plum trees will soon turn to dark purple leaves. And the Redbud Trees are in bloom with their darker purple flowers. The willow trees are weeping with fresh light green leaves, and the bees are buzzing! One day soon, the mountains will suddenly turn green. It's as if all the trees get together and decide - tomorrow's the day! And overnight it seems that their leaves pop out!
Hope your Spring is in full bloom- both in nature and in your spirit!
