april showers


Winter lasted for so long this year, I almost forgot what spring looked like. Well, it is here. The trees are leafed out, the tulips have come and gone. The sedem is spreading and so is the creeping Jenny. April showers have brought May flowers.

The flox is in full bloom! Awesome! The English ivy that came from a friend is going to town. The entire back yard is declaring the glory of God.

I even got a special spray from Ben at Ben's lawn and garden on 40 highway. You spray it into the flowers and sedem and it kills the grass growing up within, but does not harm the flowers. Cool.

The Holy Spirit does that too. When we are willing to listen, he eliminates the weeds and unwanted grass growing up within our lives so that the flower of the beauty of our life can be seen.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Your flowers look beautiful. I can hardly wait for the spring rains to take a little break so that I can get some planted at the M/Y building.

BTW, did Ben have any snake spray? Something that will kill the snake, but let the grass grow? ; )

Enjoy God's natural gifts and lowly creatures. They all serve a purpose. ; )

Thanks for sharing the beauty of the eye, and the beauty of the soul. God is good. Spring always follows winter. This is closely akin to your wonderful message yesterday, Jeff, about how Jesus always heals. Good stuff!

Ditto Betty's request. Please share the name of the spray. I love my phlox so much each spring, but continually fight the grass that grows in it. Name, please! M.A.
