A few weeks ago, I posted a picture of the tiniest little shoots of my snowdrops. And then we got some more winter weather. But they are back now and fully blooming, along with some purple crocuses! I love these earliest harbingers of spring, don't you?And speaking of back, we are back from our weekend with Emily in Ann Arbor, MI. And what a wonderful, wonderful weekend it was! The recital was perfect! I believe even she was happy with how she played. She had terrific attendance, especially from her church. Those people really support and love her which was a lovely thing for this mother's heart to see.
Actually, it was a wonderful weekend in so many ways. Remember I mentioned that it felt funny to be going to her apartment to visit? Kind of a role reversal feeling? Well, it was that but it was also just so comforting to see how much love and effort she put into making us feel welcome there. A glimpse of the things a Mom or Dad hopes for throughout all the years of parenting. More than a glimpse. I am still basking in it!

Yes, it is wonderful to see how our children are growing and how they have learned the lessons we hoped to teach them. I loved your Irish quote in the previous post. I caught myself sniffing the air (no turf fires unfortunately).
My flower bed is still covered with about 6" of snow. When my crocuses finally poke through, maybe I'll post a photo too! I'm a little envious, Dorothy... in a Christian kind of way :)
Happy first day of Spring. What a pretty picture.
Oh I'm glad you had such a wonderful weekend with your daughter. It's so nice to see our kids thriving isn't it? Blessings on your week Dorothy...
