SUNDAY STROLL- SPRING FORTH

See I am doing a new thing. Now it springs forth, do you not see it?

Isaiah 43

It's the promise of a new year, a new season of abundance.
Here you see the spears of new Big Leaf Magnolia leaves seeking the sun.

The Maple has a red hue of buds announcing the the coming comfort of a shelter from the summer sun.

The eager Bradford Pears wants to fill the landscape with blossoms to thrill the winter hungry eyes with a different kind of snow white.

Here the grumpy old Red Oak tree that guards our neighborhood still clings to it's leaves of 2009 not willing to let go until late in spring when the sap fully rises and forces the old to let go and make room for the youth and vigor of the new generation of leaves.

And so goes the natural order of things

For as the rain and the snow come down from the heaven,

and return not thither but water the earth,

making it bring forth and sprout,

giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth;

it shall not return to me empty,

but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,

and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55: 10-11

To Stroll down another lane go the Aislings place and go from there.
