Just dreaming ...

Hello dear ones, 

I'm looking forward to see our gardens wake up from their winter nap, and to greet our flowers and the birds once again!

Blossoms appear in the land, the time of singing has come . . .  Song of Solomon 2:12

May His light always shine on you!

Much love,

Life Under the Sun!

 Hello dear ones,

 We are so thankful to our Creator for all of His blessings!  O Lord, how great are Your works!  Your thoughts are very deep.  For You, Lord,  have made me glad through Your work; we will triumph in the work of Your hands.  Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms! The book of psalms

                                               Here is a glimpse of His works . . .

 

"Spring is the time of year when it is summer in the sun and winter in the shade."

~ Charles Dickens   

I Love Birds, Flowers and, of course, Primavera!!!

 She enjoys rain for its wetness, winter for its cold, summer for its heat.  She love rainbows as much for fading as for their brilliance.  It is easy for her, she opens her heart and accepts everything."

Barn Swallows are always so much fun to watch them grow and learn how to fly!

Second year of Tree Swallows nesting in our backyard.  What a delight it has been!
