Happy first day of Spring dear friends. Even though it seems our life is spinning out of control, nothing has taken God by surprise…He holds the universe in His hands. Today He has given us a new season, one that springs forth with hope. I have gathered some of my favorite spring photos to hopefully add a little beauty to your day.

Thank you Cath. Please take care of yourself and yes this too shall pass ♥️
Dear Pam, such a beautiful spring post. Beauty gives us something wonderful to focus on other than the dreadful virus. Your area must be alive with beauty and color. Our daffodils are just beginning to make their show. Wishing you blue skies and lovely spring days. Be well, dear one.❤
Thank you Sandra. Be well my friend♥️
Thank you Pam, we all need the magic of beautiful flowers right now. I love the Yoshino Cherry blooms, gorgeous! Prayers…
Be well dear Jenna ♥️🙏🏻
Beautiful pictures!
Thank you for your visit!
You’re welcome! 💚
I visited your blog and left a comment, I am not sure it went through.
Beautiful flowers, are those all on your property? Gorgeous, and a breath of fresh air!
Thank you Carole. No, all of these aren’t here on our property, but most are nearby! Stay healthy!
Pam, This is such an uplifting post with beautiful pics & uplifting quotes. Hopefully the warmer weather will eradicate this horrible virus! We’re under storm watches this evening as it’s close to 80 for a high today. It’s so weird to see stores closed by 6 p.m., restaurants doing only takeout, streets not jammed with traffic. We know many families will be negatively impacted. It’s a scary time but God will bless & provide. We can reduce our anxiety by taking a nice walk outside & enjoying the beauty. If you can’t go outside, open the curtains, listen to the birds singing, enjoy nature shows on TV or YT. May God bless you and your family. 🙏 Clara ♥️
Thanks so much Clara! It is close to 80 here also. Hopefully there won’t be storms. Yes, it seems surreal. I haven’t left home since Sunday. Take care. God bless you and yours♥️
Oh the colors are breathtaking Pam! Makes me want to just come and sit a spell in that beautiful surrounding. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thank you dear Cindy! Take care of yourself!
WE need beauty right now. You delivered that in spades! I love it.
Thank you Jeanie. Concentrating on all that is good!
So, so pretty! Your spring looks a lot like the spring seasons in SC. When we lived there, I always said there was nothing prettier than SC in the spring – especially down around Charleston. So thankful spring has dawned upon us once again, and God spared us all to see it. We are so blessed, in spite of all satan is doing in our world. Thankfully, GOD is still in control and He still loves us. We are still His children, and He is a faithful Father to us! The beauty of spring proves that! Sending love and hugs your way today, sweet friend. You always encourage me.
Yes, GOD is in control and we are His children. May we rest in His goodness. Thank you my friend!♥️
A feast for the eyes! Something beautiful to gaze upon instead of nonstop news. I am trying to make this time productive with a “dreaded task” planned for each day… today I cleaned grout! Now I am settled in with my new House Beautiful, and a nap might be in the near future.
I want to use the time wisely. However, I have come down with my second cold in six weeks. I am trying to rest and read. Take care Roxanne♥️

Thank you Pam!

Thanks so much, Randy. I hope you and the family are doing well. May God continue to bless your ministry!
No matter what happens, no matter what, He is ours and we are His, where peace and a safe
refuge is everlasting. Let us replace any anxiety with trust, diligence and that conviction. The
sun is heralding the arrival of Springtide here and your gallery of Spring blossoms, Pam, puts many cares to rest and raises our hopes….so beautiful. Bless you.
Amen, Mary! Bless you and stay in and take care ♥️
dear Pam, what a marvel of plants! I tell you the same as Sandra … how is it possible that they are already more than announcing spring? It is still very late around here, the weather is good, but the trees barely show their buds.
I live in a 3 story building with 2 houses on each floor. So we are 6 neighbors and it has gardens around the house and it also has a swimming pool. The trees are still almost bare, they are just beginning to sprout and it’s cold, it’s good weather but it’s cold.
I love everything you show, it is really spectacular.
A hug
Mi querido amigo, espero que te vaya bien y te quedes dentro con la pandemia. No me di cuenta de que tenías vecinos tan cercanos, pero el jardín y la piscina suenan encantadores. Hoy hace mucho calor aquí, realmente se siente como la primavera. Nuestro invierno fue bastante suave. Cuídate Dolores y mantente saludable.
Enviando abrazos,
Pam
What a delight to my eyes! We sure need the flower therapy of Spring in crazy times like now. You have not only delivered but showered us with pink, white, yellow and red blossoms. Thank you Pam! Happy Thursday to you! 💗😊
Thank you my friend. I hope you are doing well in these times♥️
We are… and doing our part to level the curve!
That is what we are doing. Hubby is working at home, I love having him here all day.
Lovely post, dear Pam. Stay safe, and take care of all of our loved ones there!
You and Mike take care dear friend!
Absolutely fabulous…Balm to the soul…Blessings.
Thank you dear Maristella!
Oh, such gorgeous pictures for this first day of spring! We have red buds and wild plum trees scattered about the woods behind our house. The fragrance from the wild plum trees is heavenly. I’m worried they may lose their blooms, because we are expecting a freeze tomorrow night. Thank you, sweet friend, for this beautiful post. Take care!!!
Thank you Shannon. I hope your redbuds and wild plums survived. Take care dear one!
Glorious photos Pam…the first one takes my breath away! Thank you for the uplifting photos and words. Happy Spring ♥
Thanks so much Mary♥️
Hi there!
Been a while since I had time to visit you virtually.
Life has been spinning out of control in so many ways as we try to bring things back into a controllable focus daily.
Been really busy getting my staff & my business to a virtual functionality. It has taken so much out of me, but with God’s help and a great staff, and nothing but faith, I finally ”released” majority of my staff to work remotely effective Monday. All the last two weeks, I had been instituting new protocol.
Your post and your pictures today broke the stoic dam that I had to build up in front of my 27 employees.
What a beautiful reminder of His everlasting Sovereignty.
From one season to another, He always bring new hope, grace & mercy.
Hope you and Butch are well! 💕
Pam, Thank you for these gorgeous pictures of spring. I am in Michigan and today it decided it wanted to stay winter a little longer…30 degrees. My daffodils and hyacinths were so hopeful, but I know we’ll be there soon.
What a beautiful display of God’s creation Pam! I have seen some new delights today! Thank you! ♥
Bless you,
Jennifer
Thank you Jennifer. Stay healthy and well sweet friend ♥️
Stunning photos, we need all the beauty that we can so thank you for sharing the lovely photographs.
