3/20/12 Many writers speak of springtime as the season that
eases in or tiptoes in with scents to tickle our noses and blooms to delight
our eyes. A time of no extremes. A time of transition between the chill of
winter and the heat of summer.
Weather wise, spring of 2012 entered weeks before its designated
calendar day and defied such descriptors. It blew in with gale force winds, tornados,
flooding and record-breaking high temps that would then plummet without
warning.
Today’s powerful wind gusts scattered the petals of our "early blooming" cherry tree
far and wide---and even into our living room through our pane-less frame. The
Window World gal said it was “magical” to see all that pink whirring around.
Pink cotton candy. (My thought---it looks like we just had a wedding in here.)
None of this surprises our Creator. As our earth revolves,
seasons will continue. “While the earth
remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night,
shall not cease.” (Genesis 8:22) We just get to enjoy each of them.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, …….... 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 ……….. a time to embrace..... (Ecclesiastes 3:1-5)
Spring:
a favorite season for many----embrace it and enjoy!
