A day off school to spend outside with my children.
Yellow flowers to brighten my yard and my desk.
A nice metaphor for Lent - a promise of new life springing out of winter ground.
Buttercups, more fruit of my grandparents planting labors. Bulb by bulb they built a beautiful retirement place.
Grape hyacinth peeking through the leaves. Lord, help me to stop and see the beauty in all the busyness of my days - especially the days I don't have off from work.
Thank you, Lord, for the idea to start listing my gifts.
lovely photos of even more lovely flowers!

ReplyDeleteAnother name for Daffodils is Lent Lilies, I LOVE that.
The pictures are just beautifu!!! I can't wait for the weather to get nicer here so we can go outside to play too!
ReplyDeleteWhile cleaning up the leaves in the yard, I noticed that the bulbs are coming up here, too. Just a tiny bit though, no blooms for a while I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteWe're still 'doing' the winter snow thing here. Snow is called for tomorrow evening and Sunday....How I wish we have daffs poking up from the ground.
ReplyDeleteOh well, maybe in a couple more weeks...
