We’ve had no extreme winter weather…just C.O.L.D. In fact, it has been so dry that this area has been in a burn ban for weeks and weeks.
This time last year, we were coming out of a blizzard that had this region paralyzed. What a difference a year makes!
I’ve had the “winter blahs” pretty severely. Or, maybe winter doesn’t have anything to do with it. Who knows?
I had been busy cleaning out kitchen cabinets and decided to grab my camera and walk over to our daughter’s house just to “check out” the west side of her house. It’s there that you can first detect a sign of spring, if the jonquils have started to break through the earth.
YES! There they were!
It’s funny how I immediately started feeling better….just knowing that spring IS around the corner.
Song of Solomon 2:12 (New Living Translation)
12 The flowers are springing up,
the season of singing birds has come,
and the cooing of turtledoves fills the air.

I'm actually going to pull my mothers bible off the shelf and look up that quote. I'll read a couple of pages on either side of it. Single quotes out of context are never as good as a few pages.
My mother's bible was given to her, probably as a confirmation gift, by her grandmother, when she was around 15. It's the only thing I have that is a link to my great grandmother.
The link? The hand written note from Grandma to Virgina on the flyleaf.
Grandma was a German national who settled in the tip of the thumb of Michigan, probably in the 1890's. I met her once when I was a small child. Her family name was Holtz. Her married name was McPhee, and I am embarrassed to admit that I don't know her first name or her husbands first name.
The flowers appear on the earth; and the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is head in our land;
