An Easter Afternoon In The Country – Monday Morning Blooms

~ Easter, Monday Morning Blooms

“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
‭‭John‬ ‭11:25-26‬

Happy Monday dear friends! It is a great start for the week because it is the third Monday of the month and that means I am joining my creative friends to bring you the Easter edition of Monday Morning Blooms!

Easter has always been very special to me – starting when I was a little girl.  My mother always made sure I had a new outfit and we would start our day at the sunrise service, complete with family lunch. The lunch tradition lives on as we gather at our house in the early afternoon for good food and an egg hunt! All of these events are fun and bring back wonderful memories, but the meaning of this day is what gives us life. Jesus Christ defeated death and the grave forever!  What a reason to celebrate!

After our Easter lunch of traditional Southern food, we will be outside for an Easter egg hunt with our granddaughter. I set up refreshments on the picnic table with a spring bouquet of flowers for us to relax and enjoy the fun through the eyes of our almost three year old Ella Mae. Baby Emma will probably sleep through the fun!

~ Gardening, Monday Morning Blooms, Spring

“”For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:12‬ ‭

Happy Monday sweet friends! I hope you each had a beautiful and pleasant weekend. Can you believe it is the first day of April, is time moving faster or am I just getting older?!  It is also the first Monday of the month which means it is Monday Morning Blooms with my friends Shirley, Lidy, and Mary.  Grab a cup of coffee or tea and pull up a chair for some lovely spring flower therapy!

Spring is bursting out all over! My Lady Banks roses are not quite at their peak, but still beautiful and I just had to show them to you. As I write this, the weather man is predicting a freeze warning for this morning. If that happens, it will be bad news for the roses and my snowballs blooms!

A Little Garden Of Spring Bulbs – Monday Morning Blooms

~ Monday Morning Blooms, Spring

“For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10:26‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends! I am so excited that Spring will be arriving on Wednesday, I know everyone is ready. It is the third Monday of the month which always means it is Monday Morning Blooms with my blogging friends. With all things spring on my mind, I have created a little garden of spring bulbs…no need for a sweater because we are indoors!

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold, when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade.
-Charles Dickens

Springtime in the South is usually a mixed bag of weather!
