3 months

The weeks are ticking by and it is hard to believe it's been 3 months since Daddy died. As we move into spring with the trees and flowers blooming, gardens being planted you know life goes on and he would want us to enjoy spring. (even if it is a soggy one). The dogwoods are in full bloom and the azaleas are popping out here. My friend Sally took pictures of spring in SW AR and shared here. Her lovely yard here. I'm not sure I've seen a red honeysuckle before. Daddy loved trees and I loved that I could ask him what tree was what.

On the soggy note: Driving down Cantrel road yesterday with my friend we saw many lovely dogwoods. Just beyond this area there are many still cleaning up from the tornado last week. We didn't venture into the area but I know it will be sad to see all the big lovely trees gone. I have many memories of walking the streets of Cammack Village with Cindy S. playing in the park and swimming at the pool.

I'm off to Hot Springs this morning to visit Garvan Gardens with some friends. I'll have more spring photos to share soon!


This touched my heart this morning.....

God looked around His garden
and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth
and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough
and the hills were hard to climb,
so He closed your weary eyelids
and whispered “Peace be thine”.
It broke our hearts to lose you
but you didn't go alone, for part of us
went with you the day God called you home.
