Do you know
God makes the snow
Nourishing
All things that grow
Though this blanket
Huge and white
Keeps the process
Out of sight
With the promise
Every year
Spring will
Make it disappear?
We had a solid month of snow on the ground and it was a foot deep. I know that probably doesn't sound like much to a Canadian, but to us in the Ohio River valley it is a strange occurence! I read somewhere years ago that snow is the poor man's fertilizer. It was a good year here for fertilizer. :)
Our spring flower bulbs are getting ready to bloom and the warmer weather is a tonic to the soul.
Wonderful Karin... George always says that snow protects many of the tender spring plants. It's the FROST that does the damage. Love your little poem.... Snow in winter; Flowers in Spring; Life is good.
Don't know what I did wrong in moderating the comments, but I lost two encouraging comments. Of course, I read them and was blessed, but have now lost the link to a new blogger. It's happened to me twice before with two anonymous comments.
Through all the circumstances of life, the mountain-top experiences and the deepest valleys, I have found Jesus Christ to be the same. HE is all I need! As He lives His life IN me to achieve His Will, I am totally amazed that He can work THROUGH me at the same time. I want to be a shining example of His love and grace to others.
The love of my life, Peter, died in May of 2013. I am mother of 3, mom-in-love of 3, grandmother of 10, great grandmother of 2, sister, cousin, aunt, niece, colleague and friend. Did I forget one, lol?? I am blessed beyond expectation. Updated 2020.
What an honor it is to receive awards and tags from fellow bloggers! I'm grateful and thankful for all those who have sent one along my way. But, and you knew there would be a but, didn't you, I have deleted all those I have received and have decided to not participate in any more. I simply feel that it would be another thing with which I need to keep up - and that would be self-inflicted pressure I can't handle. I can't even keep up with writing and posting as much as I would really like. I love READING your blogs and sometimes making a comment, much, much more than I love writing anyhow! Thank you so much for your understanding, support, kindness, and bloggy love I've been shown! God bless! Hugs, Karin

What a wonderful description of one of the benefits of snow.

It's nice to see snow as a blessing rather than a curse! Beautiful crocus shot! Happy Sunday, Karin.
