Spring

 Spring has finally come to stay.

  Enjoying the new life of spring.

My first Virginia Blue Bells, a friend shared a couple of plants last year.

The tulips didn't do as well this year, the 28 inches of snow we got after they were up, broke some of them off. So enjoying what did blossom!

The flowers of spring are so refreshing after a long winter!

My favorite blooms and smell of spring is the lilacs!

The chicks are growing, waiting to see how many hens I have.

Have some interesting color combinations...hoping for different colored eggs!

For, lo, the winter is past...
The flowers appear on the earth;
the time of the singing of birds is come...
Song of Solomon 2:11a, 12a

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest,
and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night
shall not cease.
Genesis 8:22

Thankful the Lord is in control of the seasons and each day of my life.

Tea Cup Exchange

This was my first time for joining in on the Tea Cup Exchange that Stephanie from 

The Enchanting Rose coordinates. She does such a wonderful job. Thank you so much for all of your hard work in making this so special for each of us!

It was so much fun!

My package came from Debbie over at  She Graces Her Home. Everything in her package was so me, it was as if Debbie had known me for years. Her package came just at the right time on a day I was struggling some, what a blessing her package and precious note was to me.

There was so many fun baking supplies that I have already been using.  Enjoyed the salted caramel chocolate bar and hot chocolate.  Saving my tea for when friends come over to enjoy!

Have been looking through the little recipe book trying to decide what to make to take to the ladies that I visit at the assisted living home.  

 The tea cup has my two favorite colors pink and green...it is so lovely!

I love the Praise Series CD, makes such good listening to when driving and the little dish Debbie sent that says "pray everyday". It's a reminder to walk close to the Lord daily!

My special gifts came in this lovely box! 

I felt so loved and spoiled by  Debbie and have made a very special friend, if only we lived closer, would love to have Debbie over for tea and a special treat!

Thank you so much Debbie for all of your sweet gifts, I thank the Lord for putting us together. 

Joyfully,

Cheryl
