“The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love color the most.”
John Ruskin
(Julie Cook / 2020)
This is really something like day 6 but at this point, who’s counting?!
We need some color and we need hope.
However, we don’t need the pollen…
But it is what it is….
The photos are of the new blooms and color now blanketing the yard…what you don’t see is
the nice layer of yellow dust covering our world…but I admit, the yellow dust
is such a nice foray into the normalcy of Spring…a diversion from life lived under
a modern-day plague.
Be sober-minded; be watchful.
Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
1 Peter 5:8

Needed this, thanks SC 🙂 GW
I really do love that first picture. Thanks for making me smile this morning, always appreciated!
Thank you Ed ☺️🌸🌻
So good to see, we have a blanket of… snow. I need some blooms!
That might just be the final nail for me 😬🤣
I love the color. All I have is brown grass to look at.
The sod is still brown — working our way there!!!!
As the Brits would say, you have a lovely ‘garden’.
It’s a pasture that we’ve tried to gussy up 🥳
So, it’s not you back yard?
It is— we live on a 5 acre parcel that was once a pasture
It looks nice, whether it was once a pasture or not.
thank you Mark—it’s a lot of work for the two of us—just wait until Gregory needs to cut grass and bush hog—an 8 hour day
When I moved back to our farmhouse at 16, it took me two days to mow the lawn, at least 1.5 days. When I graduated college, my Dad bought a tractor with a mower underneath. A cleaner cut than a Bush hog.
Something about seeing nature and plants blossoming that gives hope
@Julie
Mild winter in northern Virginia. The crocuses have finished blooming. Thanks for the heads up in what’s to come.
Good things— soon we pray!!
