Spring Beckons

"Spring beckons! All things to the call respond"(Ambrose Bierce). In reply to spring's happy invitation, this week, for the first time this year, I have . . .

mowed the lawn,
worn flip-flops,
studied outside, and
visited Dow Gardens.  =)

Ahh, so many little occasions to celebrate springtime! So many ordinary ways to enjoy the sunshine, warmer weather, new growth, and beauty all around--each reminders to praise the Lord for the marvelous work that He is doing within me and for me. "For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands" (Isaiah 55:12).


Here are a few of my favorite pictures taken this past weekend at Dow Gardens.
