February…what a teaser!
We have struggled and endured the stunningly cold polar vortex that assaulted us for a number of days in late January and early February….then February decided to give us a taste of spring with warm breezes and sunshine. We are now back to cold and blowing snow.
While walking to the house with my head tucked from the cold wind, and not paying much attention, I glanced down and couldn’t believe what I saw…the little violas that had reseeded along the sidewalk were blooming! Such an unexpected surprise! February is teasing us again! But spring will be here soon.
The flowers of late winter and early spring
occupy places in our hearts
well out of proportion to their size.

Rejoice in the Lord always;
again I will say, rejoice!
