I took some time over the weekend to clean my three season porch. It's still a bit too cold to sit out there, but at least when I look out the slider I see the hope of spring.
Last night we had a winter storm warning for freezing rain and then I heard the loudest clap of thunder I have ever experienced (louder than when my house got struck by lightening when I was a child). The power flickered and the whole house shook. I was waiting for the sound of trees falling as our yard has many. But all was well!
I know that for me, I enjoy spring so much more when the winter has been long and harsh. It is so fitting that Easter arrives in all it's beauty on the heels of winter. Such a picture of the death and resurrection of our Lord.
I'm praying for some sunshine today. I've decided that if the sun doesn't show itself I'm going to the nearest florist and diving into the flowers. I need color!
Hugs,
The porch looks so inviting I bet you cannot wait to get out there and enjoy your space~ oxox, Diane
ReplyDeleteNo thunder here, but we had snow again and still more expected later this week/weekend. I think Spring is going to elude us. I love sitting on my porch in the early mornings with coffee in hand and waiting for the first bird song.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for a little porch sitting myself. I love the little plaque...such a wonderful truth.
ReplyDeleteI love that little plaque, perfect! Hope springs finds you soon, everything is blooming like crazy here and it's just too soon!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya. It is 30 here this morning and we had snow Monday and some more on the way. A foot still remains in my yard. Flowers surely sound good.
ReplyDeleteWill you pick me up when you go to the florist? Pleeeaaassseee

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely space you've created! I know what you mean when you say you need colour...We have a few grey days in store and that makes me want to go to the garden center and walk amongst the flowers and Spring decor. So energizing!
