As I’ve been running/jogging/walking through the neighborhood lately, one of my favorite parts of the experience (aside from the realization that holy smokes! I can run!) is watching the various plants wake up from winter. First, forsythia with it’s beautiful yellow herald to welcome early spring, then the pussy willows and their soft reminder of warmth to come, now the daffodils are gently lifting their heads to brightly proclaim, “Spring is here!” I love it. I love the way the Lord designed creation every time of year, but this spring has been special for me as I travel by foot through the neighborhood.
And because I love Jonathan and photos of Jonathan, here are a few from the tulip festival last year. It’s another great “Welcome Spring!” event!


And here’s one of my favorites from that day. Jonathan’s beautiful sisters, Katherine, Megan and me in the tulips!

Oh and I love that it’s not crazy cold while I’m outside now. That makes me super duper happy!
Hooray for Spring!
such great pictures! Even with the umbrella, its looks wonderful. Who doesn’t love spring!!
And don’t you love saying that you can run? You are a runner! I love it! Anyone can do it! Just don’t get injured!
