The way this spring season has
occurred it may have been fun to do some time lapse photography as everything
sprang forth in record time. Last week
the rhubarb was just breaking out of the dirt.
Tomorrow I will harvest some to make my first rhubarb, strawberry,
blueberry pie of the fresh season.
Plants that we wintered over in the house have been struggling with the
variety of temperatures and rainfall, but many are sprouting new growth. A bright blue sky today certainly helped
everything that’s sprouting! Looking up
during our walk we saw three shades of pink flowers blooming on trees, mixed
with a couple shades of green and some burgundy leaves, all against a cloudless
blue sky. Nature can provide some
amazing colors that somehow work together to announce the glory of God!
Oh God of all Nature, help us to stop and
look down to see the growth bursting forth.
Help us to stop and look up to see the glorious colors in the trees. Help us to look straight ahead, into the eyes
of those who speak with us. At every angle,
we are blessed with amazing gifts. Help
us to see them and be thankful. Amen.
