Beautiful Surprises

As my regular readers (thank you) know, we moved to this farm last summer. Imagine my surprise, then, when I have been discovering dozens and dozens of tulips and daffodils coming up all over this four acre property. I asked God tonight if He knew I was going to be moving here. Few people would enjoy these surprises more than I. When I see them I usually bring in the flowers. These are amongst some crown of thorns plants I have been rooting in the kitchen window. Many of you live in southern parts of the U.S., so tulips and daffodils may not seem like such a big deal. However, when you live in a place like this, where winters last at least through the middle of April, the joys of spring and summer are more appreciated every year.
