New Growth

Every year I get excited about spring and every year I look outside and my flower bed and little sidewalk look like this picture. All grown over with leaves from last year and the weeds have already started growing. Every year I look at the flower bed and feel overwhelmed. Then, when the bulbs and perennials start to grow, I feel like I can get it ready. I see the new growth and get inspired.

God always looks at our new growth. He lets go of our old weeds and helps us with the new growth. Yay!!!

Spring Memories

Hi!!!

On this lovely spring day, I have been thinking about my happy spring memories from childhood. Here are a few.....

My mamaw let me plant my first zinnia in her flower bed. She had such a green thumb and her little white house was always beautifully decorated with flowers...even my Daddy would brag on her for her talent. I miss her.

I remember my mothers pretty sandals, she had all different kinds. She had flip flops and fancy sandals. I would play in them and stand in front of the mirror. :)

Spring clothes were always fun. Much lighter and I hated coats.

Going to the park, Opryland, the amusement park and fun places with Daddy when he picked me up for visitation on Monday nights. I LOVED it. I got to be a princess once a week. :)

I was always terrified of spring storms because of the tornados (without an e on this one Kim) so, Mama would sit on the porch with me and "watch" the storm. This helped me get over most of the fear. I now do this with Emma. She is so scared of the storms.

As I got older, I loved doing the flower bed by our driveway. I did most of it myself. It was great for me because I have always been drawn to color....

My daddy bought a vacation condo on the beach when I was in high school, he would take my friends and I to Florida every spring. It was sooooo fun!!!

These are just some fun memories I have. Would anyone like to share some memories???
