A Saturday Hint of Spring

We woke up this morning to bright sun and clear blue sky. How unusual. It seemed strange, but the temps hit the high 50's today with a forecast into the 60's later this week. The sun is warm and the air is cool and it seemed like everyone was outside sweeping, raking, cutting, trimming, and otherwise getting their "Spring" on. Karen and I were no exception.

After spending a few hours at MMS taking care of some mission stuff, we stopped at our local Wal-Mart Super Center to pick up envelopes and paper for our next Coshocton Flyer newsletter. While we were there, we too got caught up in the frenzy and bought grass seed, rose spray, and some plastic edging for a new flower bed Karen's considering. It's crazy how crazy everything gets around here when the snow and rain actually stop long enough for the sun to shine for a few hours. After this year's winter, a few hours of sun seems like a week's worth.

Karen has all the doors and windows open, the dogs are lying on the front porch watching the neighborhood come to life, and I was even able to put a quick trim on our climbing roses. Wait until you see our trellis later in the season. This is our third year of growing the roses and we're hoping for spectacular blooms and foliage this season.

Have a great weekend!
