Just two weeks ago, it was cold and we were grabbing for jackets and now...We girls are putting color on our toes, finding our crop pants and colorful clothes, fanning when we are outside, and there is more good local news than bad!
I was watching the morning news this morning and most of the reports were about festivals, and the boom that Spring Break brings to the area! I counted about five or six local festivals such as: the Fairhope Arts and Crafts Festival, Family Funday, a BBQ cook off , and a Sausage Festival. This list is in no way exhaustive or complete! There are concerts on the beach, concerts in town, and opportunities to shake off the gray of winter!'
I love the promise and the color of spring! Azaleas are covering their bushes, the Bradford pears and dogwoods are gorgeous, and even the fruit trees are budding. New life always follows the dead of Winter.
Thank you God, for dressing the earth up so beautifully, just for our pleasure! You are a marvelous God!
11 See! The winter is past;
the rains are over and gone.
12 Flowers appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
is heard in our land.
--Song of Songs 2:11-12
