South Carolina Spring Days

Spring is my absolute favorite season since moving to South Carolina!  Nothing revives or inspires me more than a walk down my street with the Dogwood trees lining the way.  When I meander down the sidewalk, I can't help but feel a little more cheerful.  The colorful blooms drown out the drab of winter; the new plants bring such beautiful color!  Oh, if they would stay a little longer!

Can you tell that I am ready for these warmer days?  My plants are beginning to pop through the ground.  I wonder what plants have made it through yet another winter and where will the volunteers show up.  We have uncovered the pool, trimmed shrubs and began washing down the outside of our house.  Next, we will be cleaning windows and replanting the flower boxes beside our front door.  

Yet, this Spring is going to be different because it will be my last South Carolina Spring. My house and my gardens, both a labor of love and hate, are for sale. I am moving to Spain to pursue a greater love!

Psalms 42:1
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
