..."spring has sprung..."

To rouse the fellers I sing... "Good morning, good morning, good morning today." As I open their room-darkening-blinds.

Some mornings are ugly at our house, so I try my hardest to sprinkle them with kindness to boost the moral.

This morning, March 20, the short feller declared, "Today's the first day of Spring... due to it being a Leap Year & the speed at which the earth rotates on it's axis as it revolves around the sun... Spring starts one day early this year."  ... our little Einstein.

So we're going to have a Celebrate Spring Day this afternoon.  When asked what kind of after school snack they would like, the short feller replied pie... cherry & pumpkin (a boy after his father's heart). The tall feller requested, cookie dough ice cream (a boy after his Grandpa's heart).

Everyone at our casa has the glow spring brings.  The birds have returned to the woods, chirping up a storm as I let the mutts out at
5:30 a.m.  The Mutts are sunbathing on the deck as I type, tuckered out from their morning wrestling match.  The cats are lounging around, rubbing their pheromones on everything.... I even found a todd while weeding a flowerbed last evening.

How are you saying good bye to winter and celebrating Spring?  Are you cleaning out closets, donating your cast offs to the needy?  ... getting outdoors to walk or exercise? ... washing the windows inside and out?  ... pulling the "weeds" out of the garden of your life?


Spring is a time of renewal.  A time of birth... rebirth.

After I walked the dogs and came in the house to brew some coffee, I felt something crawling on my hair... a lady bug had hitched a ride.

Take some time to listen to how the Lord wants you to celebrate spring .... He has invited you to hitch a ride for eternal life...
... bloom into what He has in store for you.
