Welcome, Spring!


We've had rain, and blustery winds ov'r the past several days. Although I'm weary of being stuck indoors, and I'm looking forward to being outside in the flower gardens, I dare not complain. We suffered such a terrible drought last summer that I'm thankful for every drop that God gives to us.

I know what you mean ~ we had freezing rain last night and how I yearn for warm temps!

The Lord reminds me to be content with where I am and what He gives ...

I know that come the height of summer, I'll probably be moaning about the heat and humidity :-)

Blessings,
Dallas

We actually had snow today but it didn't stick for long. I'm glad, it's spring, bring on the barefoot days.

Oh I love the photo, very pretty!

Hi, Mrs. K,

Happy Spring! I can't wait until it is really warm! I am so glad we got some rain though! Our grass is already starting to look a little greener. After the drought last year, our grass got so brown!

What a delightful picture!! You know I did not even realize it was the first day of Spring until I just read the comments on my blog.

I'm glad you all are getting some rain. We had your blustery weather yesterday ... and a very gray day it was. Last week I read the winter stats for our area [and you know where that it ;o) - not too far from you]. Even though it seemed to us that we got quite a bit of rain this winter, we were actually down 3 inches from the average winter rainfall. That on top of the huge deficit from last summer made me realize much prayer is still needed in this area. Shamefully I must admit that I just don't think I'm always thankful enough of the mercies of God when supply is plenty.

Now that's all for today's weather report ... lol! :o) Hugs to you and Happy Spring!

I second that! We are SO thankful for the rain :o) NC is finally "just" in the "exceptional" drought range, down from "extreme".

Happy Spring!

That is SUCH a gorgeous picture! WE're supposed to get warmer temperatures over the next week - can spring be too far away?
