Spring is just around the corner! Today was such a beautiful glimpse into what we have to look forward to! I can't wait! We were outside this afternoon...David was painting, and I was digging the beginnings of what will be our sunflower house. I even got to go walking with friends...outside!

Kindly spring again is here,

Trees and fields in bloom appear;

Hark! The birds with artless lays

Warble their creator's praise.

Where in winter all was snow,

Now the flowers in clusters grow;

And the corn, in green array,

Promises a harvest-day.

Lord, afford a spring to me,

Let me feel like what I see;

Speak, and by thy gracious voice,

Make my drooping soul rejoice.

On the garden deign to smile,

Raise the plants, enrich the soil;

Soon thy presence will restore

Life to what seemed dead before.
