Spring Blossoms

These are some photos I've taken recently of the little trees in our orchard. The first signs of Spring always start here with the little blossoms unfurling and showing their delicate beauty. Soon the tiny wild violets will spread a lovely purple hush over the grass in the orchard and fill the air with their sweetness! Spring in all it's glory will be here soon!

Plum Blossoms

As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”
-Genesis 8:22
Peach Blossom Honey?

Cluster of Apple Blossoms

Those are Going to be Hard to Pick Later...

Branchs of Blossoms

To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born, And a time to die;
A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;

A time to kill, And a time to heal;
A time to break down, And a time to build up;

A time to weep, And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, And a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to gain, And a time to lose;
A time to keep, And a time to throw away;

A time to tear, And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;

A time to love, And a time to hate;
A time of war, And a time of peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8


Thank you for visiting!

p.s. Recently several dear readers have asked about my photography equipment and what I use. I shall be doing a post shortly on this subject.

P.S. I simply *adore* the songs on your playlist from the newest Emma movie! {I promptly added them to mine. *wink*} It truly is such a sweet movie--I fell in love with it!

Dear Livvy,
I am a new blogger (an older woman in a new season as my young people are soon to graduate),and I have been praying and thinking of what other's needs might be. I am encouraged and blessed to find a virtual revival of young people's hearts and minds toward The Almighty!
I see God at work mightily in you and others (for His glory)!
If there is a area of need that you feel hasn't been addressed by anyone, it would be helpful to consider it before the Lord.
In Christ,
Jacqueline
