Hi, Winds of Change and Everyone:

It's very nice to be here in this group!  Here, in Virginia, we've been having a lot of rain and cloudy days.  It's the nice rain, though, -- not too hard, and the kind that can be absorbed into the ground.  What a blessing!  So, the sun hasn't had a chance to shine here much lately, but it will get its turn soon!  I, too, am glad that  Spring is finally here!  The grass is a rich green and the dear little birds are busy singing for  us every day and making their nests.  I hope to spend more time in the sun.  Staying inside too much isn't good for many reasons.

 

Love and peace,

Hi, Winds of Change:

I'm so glad that you weren't hurt during those tornadoes!  Yes, prayers will help those who were affected.  It's the least that we can do.  In the past 10 years that I've lived in this area of VA, we've had no tornadoes, but there was one hurricane (Fran) several years ago.  It is a blessing to be spared the agony of such disasters.  We've had a fair amount of rain recently.  It was mostly the gentle rain, so it didn't ruin my tulips as in previous years when they were destroyed by the first spring rain!  This year, the tulips lasted thru the first 3 or 4 rain storms we had, but were weakened with each rain.  But, the last storm finished them off!  It was so nice that they lasted as long as they did!  Now, it looks kind of funny to see just the leaves and stems with no flowers!  Hopefully, it wont rain too much just after you water your flowers!

 

Love,
