Spring! Wonderful, beautiful spring!
It seems as though this is the most splendid spring we have ever had in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. Maybe it's just I am wanting to celebrate new life after such a trying year.
Everywhere you look there's beauty. The Bradford pear trees are like giant ice cream cones. Redbud trees dance in lilac lace, and Josie's tulip tree bursts forth with shades of purple. The daffodils dot the verdant grass with churned butter, and the forsythia bush rings yellow bells on a crisp breeze.
This morning a bunny rabbit hopped across the purple violets and announced Easter is coming. Baby chicks crack out of their shells and peep, peep, peep! Songbirds lift cheerful tunes in the maple trees wearing strands of rubies.
Nature is putting on a grand show celebrating new life. Sunbeams glitter on mountain streams echoing with bullfrogs blowing their trumpets. The air is filled with fragrance that you cannot find in any bottle.
Life. Resurrection power. Christ has risen from the grave and there is hope.
I wish all my blogger friends a blessed and beautiful Easter!

Beautiful post. Yes, Christ is risen!
What a beautiful description of spring!! We don't have much spring color yet, just buttercups, spring beauties, and a few other small flowers. But, it's coming!! Oh that the world could truly remember the resurrection!
What a beautiful posting! I felt my spirits lift as I marveled at pictures of the spring flowers, and then read your wonderful essay. I starting humming the song that Louis Armstrong used to sing: "I think to myself..."What a Wonderful World".

It will be some time until the flowers bloom here, Brenda Kay, but this post beautifully describes the hope and beauty that nature brings to spring. Wishing you and your family a joyous Easter as well.
Beautiful, Brenda. Spring has arrived here, too. The forsythias and daffodils are in bloom.
Love your post. Beauty does surround us, especially in spring when everything bursts forth from the earth. Our forsythia is the most beautiful and vibrant yellow this year, it just about takes your breath away. Happy Easter Brenda.
What a wonderful post! Thank you for those lovely words. It does seem God is blessing us this Spring with an abundance of beauty and I am so thankful!
