Spring officially begins on March 20th, but its splendor is already evident in our Appalachian Foothills!

“The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.”
‭‭Song of Solomon‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

The bunny couple are dressed in fashionable spring attire and holding their signs to welcome their favorite season!

“The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭121‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

With the sun just below the horizon and a combination of high clouds and low clouds, it can make one imagine that the whole world is ablaze. We did have a forrest fire or a controlled burn one day last week that brought a lot of smoke to our area. Fortunately it cleared away and all was well. March often brings elevated threats of fires in our neck of the woods. Did you witness the lunar eclipse? We had all clouds!READ MORE

“Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak, and let the earth hear the words of my mouth. May my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, like gentle rain upon the tender grass, and like showers upon the herb.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭32‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬
