SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

I know our spring event was 4 days ago but i misplaced a pic from that day I wanted to share. Imagine that!

A walk at Deep Creek with hubby and NC grandson required a light jacket because of some wind gusts but it was still a walk of wonder of sorts as winter fades and spring bursts forth!

Parts of the path toward Tom Branch Falls were covered with a light purple glow of Lesser Periwinkles! (Vinca Minor) This pic was taken close up when in fact, the size of each on the flowers on the trail were approximately the same size as the nail on my thumb. Blended among the darkngreen leaves along the trail was eye-catching! 

A simple beauty from our great Creator!

COMPLETE COLOR!

Color has been taking on a new perspective for me lately. I am celebrating the hues springtime has begun offering. For too long, I have been fearful of colors invading my dreams/hallucinations from colorful starbursts to blobs of black and white switching when I would open or close my eyes. Eyes open....see black. Eyes closed see white......until I could fall asleep.

I prefer appreciating colors afresh. Yesterday, my son-in-law blessed us with bright red strawberries from Darnell Farms. Not just YUM.....but beautiful from inside to the outside. These sweet ones are red all the way through! (Proof in the Pic)

We would eat them as quickly as we capped them. 

Check them out--no white in Nate's crop. 

Red on the inside as well as the out. Sweetness and color through and through.

More pix would have shown brilliant red on top of our ice cream and this morning's bowl full of granola. God's grace pouring out from red resources picked in a field of strawberries. 

"He made everything beautiful in its time." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
