Winter quiet soon to be broken

 Winter seems to be the gift that keeps on giving this year. But a little tour of my neighborhood is reminding me that before too long, there will be life bursting forth once again.

Anticipating the seasons changing makes me want to be like the people in those Home Depot commercials who get up and DO something to get it going.

Yet quietly, without me lifting a finger, these little buds form, and plants are preparing to burst out in glorious life. Yes, God is quietly creating while I hide by the fireside!

Hellebores prepare 

and though before long the riot of color, scents and busyness of birds will be nearly overwhelming, for now, winter keeps its hold and spring peacefully prepares.

While summer brides are still a bit dreamy, spring brides are getting those final details in a row.

Look for a few postings featuring a recent bridal preview.

Rest a bit more and get ready for the busy season!
