it's greening up!








(click on pic to enlarge)

i went for a bike ride today ... look at how my little town is starting to green up ... doesn't it just make a heart glad? *smile* ... at the town docks, i chatted up an old gentleman fishing ... he was enjoying the day ... and why not ... God's blessings are all around for us to see ... He gives us all good things to freely enjoy!

It's gorgeous. I love spring as much as I love fall with all it's beautiful colors. God's gift of nature and all it's blessings in it, always continue to amaze me.:-)

God's Grace.

Ah!! Dear Saija...just tell me something I can't remember about my beloved Manitoba!
Is it almost Saskatoon berries season?
We used to all go out as a family with my dad at the head of the pack and pick them and also choke cherries, and Mom would make jam and pies out of them.
Oh those certainly were the good old days.
When mom made bread to go with the jam, why those kneeded loaves would raise twice the size as they do in Ontario!!..
I just wonder why?

Thank you for all the prairie memories you give to me Saijs.
I just love you to pieces for THAT!!...Love Terry
