Sights and Sounds of Spring!

Flowers blooming. Temperatures teeter-tottering. Baseball bats swinging. Outdoor eating. Neighbors coming out from hibernation. 5am birds chirping. Lightening flashing. Thunder clapping.


Carson warming up!

Swing and a hit!! :)

Those would be just a few of the sights and sounds of the change-over of seasons, along with boys playing outside until the very last second before finally being summoned in to the house. That's always a clear indication that the longer days are warmer days, that fresh air is just too good to pass up.

Dinner on the deck!!

perfect night for a family bonfire

With today being Good Friday, it's hard for the heart not be a little heavy amidst the sun shining. Reading the accounts of what Jesus endured all the way to Calvary, a tear escapes...listening to the songs echo throughout the house of what Jesus did for us and how I am to live as HIS child, another tear escapes...praying earnestly for other's hearts to understand and repent and receive...yep, another tear. So undeserving. Yet Grace overrides. 

Today is Good Friday...but Praise the Lord, SUNDAY'S COMIN'!!!!!!
