It's finally here!

What a difference a week makes. Last Sunday we had crazy weather; it was windy, cold and stormy.

This is the yard after one of the storms came through. This was the first hail storm of the day, another came through that night.

However - as the week went by, the weather got better!

And on Friday, I saw leaves appearing on the tree in the back yard!

And when I went to the front yard, the crocus were up.

By Saturday, the crocus were soaking up the sun, and on Sunday we hit 84 degrees!
This week we are supposed to be in the 50's and 60's - still sounds good. :)
Hooray for Spring, sunshine and flowers!

More signs of Spring!

We are seeing more signs of Spring here in Michigan! The weather has been nice, our temperature made it to a little over 70 degrees on Friday!The leaves are starting to pop out on our bushes out front.

These little flowers are called Grecian Windflowers. They are grown from bulbs and come up every year. They are quite small but add a nice touch of color.

Here are the daffodils blooming along the side of the yard. They always seem so cheerful and do a great job of announcing that Spring is here!

"Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come!"
Song of Solomon 2:12

Spring is coming!

I took this picture Sunday morning after I looked out the kitchen window and realized that our oak tree had buds on it. I was so happy to see that although we still have some snow in our yard, there are some definite signs of spring! Then we sang "Indescribable" by Chris Tomlin when we went to church and although I have sung it many times before, I really took note of the words. This song mentions spring and storehouses of snow and the fact that it is our God who controls it. Here are the words to this song: From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation’s revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
