I don't know about you, but I am bursting with Thanksgiving for the return of Spring. It's been a long time coming, but 51 degrees yesterday and the appearance of snowdrops and crocuses give me hope that it is here to stay. I'm even thankful for the mud that graces our lawn. Here is my March edition of "Month of Praises." Why not get started today on your own "Month of Praises," It's a great way to look back and see how God is working and how He has so richly blessed you.

Your site is very beautiful. I stopped by today and enjoyed reading some of your posts!

Glad you're feeling better. We've had some really nasty sicknesses here, too, but I think we're all going to survive now. It especially helps to see/feel signs of spring! We discovered some crocus along the side of our house that we've never seen before... and we moved here 2 years ago! That was a nice surprise! :-)
