Spring Can't Come Soon Enough

What beautiful flowers a teacher friend and her

daughter at school gave to me on my birthday! I

was so surprised! The children in my class asked

her what they were for. When she told them,

they sang "Happy Birthday" to me. It was so

precious, I almost started to cry. I now see

why it is so important for husbands to

give their wives flowers. These beautiful

flora are truly a gift from God to all of us! I

am so happy when I see the beautiful

flowers Jim gives to Nellie! What love

is expressed in so simple a gift!

I think I just may start buying myself a

bundle when these slowly fade away.

I can't believe how uplifting such

beauty can be. Our LORD surely

knew what He was doing when He

created the beautiful plants in this

world. I guess that should make

me be more appreciative when

I need to start taking care of my

plants in the yard! With the cold

we had this year, I have much work

to do this spring in cutting back

the dead growth! Last year my hibiscus

was so big that many hummingbirds

were all about the flowers. Sad to say the

freeze got it and I will have to cut it back to

start the growth over again. So I'll not have

the wonderful little birds this year. My rose

bush made it through the cold. It has had

beautiful roses even during the freezes we had!

I will put some pictures of them on my next blog.

Until then, I hope your Spring is near too!
