I love spring. It is my favorite season and its timing shows forth the perfection of God.  If you live in an area that has four seasons, you—like me, truly appreciate spring.  It follows the bitterness, the coldness, the toughness of winter.

Living in Maryland, I particularly enjoy spring because while many of our winters are brutal, our spring season is absolutely gorgeous.  The beauty and promise of spring, following winter, makes it all worthwhile.

In the past, I never really appreciated spring as I should. However, I’m making a conscious decision to appreciate nature.  My puppy, Satchel     has actually helped me in that effort.  Everything is fresh and new to him.  When I walk him, he stops and smells all that nature has to offer. He is never in a rush.  He just takes it all in.

My goal this spring is to slow down. Stop and take in the smells of nature. Enjoy the beauty of the flowers and plants. Sit back and take in all that Mother Nature has blessed us with.

Hmmm…..spring!
