The first day of spring here in The Colony brought with it cold, wind, and snow. Today, though, it is sunny and in the 60's. I love this time of year with its promise of sunshine and blooms. Examining my garden this afternoon, I noticed that the roses and blackberry vines are putting on new growth, and the peach trees are blooming. The fragrance of the peach tree blossoms is lovely, and I especially love that they hold the promise of fruit in the summer. Honestly, I've planted blackberries and peaches in the yard because I so love the cobblers that I make with the fruit. Mmmmm....just thinking of them makes my mouth water!
Last week, just before spring break, I planted bluebonnets in my front beds. When those are blooming, I will post pictures. I think this weekend I'll work on my vegetable beds. I am determined to get some tomatoes, peppers, and strawberries out this year. My husband is going to build me a new raised bed that I intend to fill with purple hull peas and okra.
I hope that you're enjoying the beautiful weather, and I hope that it reminds you of the Creator who spoke all things into being with His powerful Word.
May God's richest blessings flow over you,
Jennifer
