tulip, hyacinth, hydrangea
peony sprouts, apricot blossom
is spring complete without dandelions? a promise of lilacs to come
daffodil, muddy shoes- another spring staple
In the evening I attended a Spring Celebration with a group of folks from our church. It was awesome! We went early, expecting to wait in line to get in. To my surprise, there was no line and the auditorium did not get full. It's a mystery to me why more folks didn't take advantage of this delightful free event.
There was prelude music by these young ladies/sisters...
Followed by another singing group/family, of which our favorite was their rendition of
"The Farmer Feeds Them All".
And the real treat of the evening was keynote speaker Philip Yancey.
He spoke on "Seasons of Soul". You can read a similar synopsis here.
Inspiring words of truth and grace. Always better 'in person'.
Being the offspring of an author, I'm generally not given to "author-worship" but I did acquire an autograph for my scrapbook. :)
I don't remember when I've had a lovelier first day of spring. Happy spring, everyone!

Thanks for all the beautiful photos of spring. Lovely, all. Even the muddy boots! :) Would have loved to hear the Sommers girls and Mr. Y. What a treat!
I like what he said here:
“You bomb my country, I’ll bomb you back. You kill my people I’ll kill you back. That’s the way the world runs.
“And then there comes this force like grace. Even if you are an enemy, even if you are a terrorist there is another way, another force.”
He's not an Anabaptist but he understands what the Bible says on the principles of peace. I have his book "The Jesus I Never Knew."
Beautiful pictures! As the mother of four boys, I think your last picture is a highly-accurate snapshot of spring. :) Love it.
And happy spring to you.
