these are a few of my favorite things...

These are a few of my favorite things... inspired by Jenn and Spring and my Creator...

the wonder and joy of new possibilities and fresh beginnings

the dewy cool of newly sprung grass

skirt, sandal and open window weather


hugs
the profusion of color in blossoms

weddings and romance
the giggle of a child

delicate, sweet petunias


butterflies and bouquets

when a person learns to read

the calves and colts frolicking in the fields


the chubby puppies nursing at the Humane Society


the soft yellow-green of new leaves and floating pollen


the empty tomb of my Savior
the warmth of the sun on my skin


playing Frisbee and tennis in the park
airing out the house


the singing of birds through open windows

hiking and picking strawberries with my sister

Sunny, windy, fragrant days

my family

Spring is to me like the rainbow God sent as a promise to Noah. My heart beats faster, my step is lighter, my hope in the promise of fresh, beautiful beginnings is renewed. Life is sweet. What an amazing and creative Creator!

Spring is God thinking in gold, laughing in blue and speaking in green. Frank Johnson
