Well...winter is officially over and spring has arrived! I am so thankful! 🌷
Normally, I'm content in any season (fall is my favorite, then spring, then winter, then summer), but, this winter seemed like the longest winter ever and we didn't even get that bad of weather compared to most of the country! I'm just glad that it's over and that spring is finally here! Yeah! 🌸
“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease" (Genesis 8:22).
