spring – Susan Norris

What are you growing this year?

Have you noticed the birds chirping first thing in the morning? A sure sign that spring is creeping up on us. I, for one, am beyond ready and excited. I love almost everything about spring. I love the sounds of spring: birds chirping, lawnmowers outside, and children playing on the lawn. I love the smells of spring: fresh cut grass, BBQ grills cooking away, and fresh flowers. I love the colors of spring: bright yellows, blues, pinks and greens. I love the sights of spring: butterflies, baby birds, trees covered in buds, and flowers pushing through the dirt with their [...]

What time is it?

Have the leaves started to change colors at your house? It seems to be taking a little longer than normal this year around here. I love the colors of fall. Fall colors seems to hold more shades than a Sherwin Williams paint wheel. And it's not just the leaves. The pumpkins and gourds people put out in the fall decorations are spectacular. When I was growing up all I ever saw sitting outside of someone's house was an orange pumpkin. When I was a little girl one of the things I could always count on our family doing was taking a drive [...]

Do you have a favorite season of the year?

What is your favorite season of the year? I like them all. Each season has it's positives and negatives.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:" I am in the midst of seasonal changes in life. I have one child about to graduate from high school and head off to college. These are fun times filled with more lasts and firsts than we [...]

What do you choose?

What is the weather like where you are? As I sit here sipping on a cappuccino watching the river ripple by, it's sixty degrees outside. It's hard to believe this time last week we were bundled up for freezing temperatures and sledding down the hill. I personally prefer today's weather. I'm a warm weather girl and I'm eagerly anticipating spring; however, I know today is just a tease. Winter isn't over yet. Seasons come and seasons go. You don't get to pick and choose which ones you want and which you don't. You have to navigate your way through each [...]
