Flowering Spring
Spring makes me soooo happy… I’m loving the temps in the 70s.
The Helleboros (Lenten Rose) have been blooming all winter.
Both pink and white blossoms have made me smile, as I didn’t see these in New Hampshire till the snow melted.
They are now gleefully joined by other blooms.
I LOVE how spring in the western NC mountains dances gleefully for 3 months.
Even my baby orchard is waking up with blossoms.
Hello plums, peaches, pears, and apples. Can I hear a Hallelujah one time!!!

World Prayer Day
The first Friday of March is World Prayer Day. Express the spirit of worship, solidarity, and shared faith with this year’s theme, Psalm 139:14: “I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.”
The Lord made each one of us with great care and skill. May we remember and celebrate that, especially in times of challenge. Have a blessed day.
