Singing (or Dancing) in the Rain

Despite a rather wet and chilly Spring, the grey weather hasn’t crimped baby girl’s style in the slightest. No rainy day will keep her trapped inside while God’s blessings smile so abundantly elsewhere. We’re excited for the arrival of some baby rain gear in the mail which will make these outdoor adventures all the more fun!

Violet Invasion

My husband and I are waging war this year on the ground ivy that has taken up residence along our back fence and is slowly strangling everything else that might grow there, including the grass. However, even in war there are miracles to be found. The invaders blessed us for a very short time with these bright blooms, calling a temporary ceasefire.

Rain Spattered

Every year I am newly amazed that the yellow blooms are the first to flower, as if announcing the coming of warm yellow days to come while chill spring rain still spatters our windows. Sunny daffodils smile at baby girl and I as we take our walks through the neighborhood, bundled up against the icy wind. Even huddled against the cold, these outings are still a blessing as we witness God’s creative work in real time.
