A Hint of Spring


A hint of spring is in the flower bed in my front yard. 

Just past the corner of the garage, as I was strolling to the end of the driveway to pick up the garbage can and put it back behind the house, out of the corner of my eye, an odd expression, I saw something that magnetized my attention. There it was. The first azalea of the year. 



We've had lots of rain this winter. Maybe the azaleas will be lush and thick and fall to the ground in mounds of pink and white petals and cover the bushes like blankets of color so hardly any leaves will show. Whatever the outcome, where I live, when the azaleas are blooming, spring is on its way! We don't need no stinkin' ground hogs!

For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the work of your hands I sing for joy. Psalms 92:4
