Ten ‘n Ten: On the Porch

The calendar says that this is officially the last day of Winter. I’m not altogether sure, though, that here on the East Coast, our atmosphere got that message. We are still BLESSED with freezing temperatures, freezing rain, and even some snow.

Yes, I said it … BLESSED.

I love ALL the seasons, and the individual characteristics that each bring.

I long for Spring days filled with sunshine and warmth, and hot, humid Summer days riddled with thunderstorms.

But I know that God has allowed this long hard winter for a reason. Our land needed it.

How much more we’ll appreciate the robins singing, the irises blooming, and the flowering fruit trees.

And yes, of course, how divine the Fall colors will be later this year.

Today I’m kicking off a new Wednesday series called “Ten n Ten” … just a quick post with ten inspirations I’ve picked to share for a given theme, that should take ten minutes or less to enjoy.

In honor of tomorrows Spring Solstice, our first “Ten n Ten” feature is called “On the Porch.”
