Early Spring Images

From the kitchen window. . .





To the outside. . .


















'Let everything in creation draw you to God. Refresh your mind with some innocent recreation and needful rest, if it were only to saunter through the garden or the fields, listening to the sermon preached by the flowers, the trees, the meadows, the sun, the sky, and the whole universe. You will find that they exhort you to love and praise God; that they excite you to extol the greatness of the Sovereign Architect Who has given them their being.'

St. Paul of the Cross


Some images from yesterday. I had a good time out today clearing away fallen branches in the yard. The robins and rabbits had to give way for a awhile. There's more to clear up and I am glad for the exercise. I am looking forwards to having everything looking good. I like the look of the old moss in variegated colors. It makes me think of virtue in all its different forms. Much of the plants are worn and dappled now, everything will become green throughout when if rainy days arrive.

Kyrie eleison.

                    The daffodils look splendid. It is unique that all daffodils are not completely yellow.

[Shin]

They are God's gift.

They are growing in a spot they are happy to spring up in every year and flourish without any care, I did not even plant them but simply found them.

                   It is pleasant when you can find flowers in a yard that you did not plant.   
                    Once I emptied some leaves over the hill for a customer and noticed some pretty   
                     tulips in the area. Apparently someone had tossed some bulbs over the edge   
                      and they landed in a spot and grew.
