Flowers Fill the Spot

I have to admit I am pure Texan.  Which means I have lived all my life in a warm climate.  This winter you wouldn't think I lived in a warm climate.  This winter has brought record breaking temperatures below freezing.  It also brought the first in my life-time ice storm which literally froze us in our homes for days. Our utility bill shows we have experienced winter this year.  Yes, I am sure very mild compared to northern states, but for this Texan, I would call it WINTER.

So, as January continues on, I am already screaming "Spring".  

Yep, enough of winter for this Texas girl.

Since I am not God, and who would want me to be, spring might be awhile.

However, some sunshine through flowers came my way and lifted up the cold.

 First, they came from my son for my birthday.

Second, they came in the form of blooming bulbs from a girlfriend.

Then Cindy of Letters from Midlife sent me her beautiful note cards.  Her work is wonderful and I will so enjoy using her cards.

Thanks girls...you made my day.

These came delivered to my door.  Now I can't remember every having flowers delivered to my door.

My daughter and grandson brighten up my evening...a thank you for helping out the first day of her return to work. I kept David and helped to organize the house.

Now I am agreeing with all of Pom Pom's Ponderings post on having flowers in the house.

They sure bring Spring around much sooner.

God didn't have to make such beauty for us to enjoy.  This warm weather girl is so glad He did.
