It here! It’s finally Spring! I come from the sunny, hot, and humid, Wilmington, North Carolina. In early March the sun is out. People pull out their flip flops and by May, the tank tops – if they actually put them away at all. The sun screen is applied and once again the beaches become a social hub.

I know. We are nearly two months into spring. But I now live in Western Pennsylvania (Ellwood City – 45 Minutes north of Pittsburgh). March was COLD! April was depressing. It rained nearly 20 of 30 days! And it was not yet warm enough to play in the rain.

But May, sweet May! She has brought some rain, but I am seeing sunshine! I have worn my shorts and flip flops. I have gone without a hoodie! It has been wonderful! The trees are green and showcasing their pinks, purples, and whites. The lawn mowers are out eating the just too long grass. And the tulips and daffodils are beginning to fade, making way for other flowers in the parade of colors to come.
And just to show you how very nice it was, my Addie Girl posed for me in the neighbor’s yard (and she didn’t even know it).
Yes, I know. By most people’s standards, these are weeds. I agree. The neighbor wasn’t able to finish the yard the day before because of the “R—” word. But weeds or not, I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED seeing flowers and my little girl amongst them!
Thank you God, for the beauty You have given! You teach us to number our days, rain or shine. This was Beautiful, not even cloudy, day number three out of way too many not so pretty days. However, I thank you that you love us enough to send us rain.
