Today we are supposed to have sun.\u00a0 The sky is getting lighter and I saw the moon last night.\u00a0\u00a0 This may seem silly to many of my readers out there that see the sun and the moon numerous occasions throughout the winter, but here in the Pacific Northwest it has been a long, cold, wet, gray winter.\u00a0\u00a0 One thing that doesn\u2019t change is spring.\u00a0\u00a0 It may be later this year.\u00a0 Plants may have a harder time recovering from the brutal winter but nevertheless it comes.<\/p>\n

In a garden one of the things that keeps you hoping is the first green shoots, buds then finally blooms.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Today I want to celebrate what is blooming in my garden this week.\u00a0 Like the promise of a rainbow, God\u2019s promise to never flood the earth again, the blooms of spring help us to believe that winter can\u2019t last forever.<\/p>\n
