It appears that Spring is definitely here! How do I know? Let me count the ways …
The snow mountains made from clearing streets all winter have all melted away. My husband was the first in our burg to fire up his lawnmower and mow the lawn. Not just the first on our street. Not just the first in our block. But the first in the Whole Town. I must admit that bagging the leaves and other stuff that have blown in over the winter does make the grass look greener. My husband was likely the first in Denton to till his garden. Or should I say gardens, plural. I’ve been told that the weeds with tiny leaves were trying to invade the strawberries, so it was time to get after them. And then one just keeps tilling. Tulips and grape hyacinths are beginning to emerge. No vivid color yet. But the green clumps are promising! The flower bed are needing spruced up. One of these days, in a couple more weeks, I’ll tend to them. And wash windows. And change the sheets on the beds from flannel to cotton. Maybe I’ll leave the windows for Mr. Pat. Today he is going to town to buy new garden seed for planting. And garden plants if he can find them. And grass seed to reseed some weedy patches in the yard. In the Spring, there is always something to look forward to. Clearing away the old. Or the debris. Freshening up. Making room for the new. Grace and peace … --Pastor Pat
