Beauty Explosion by Susan L.

  The apple tree, the lilacs, the ornamental crab and the black currant bushes have all burst into bloom. Bumblebees are feasting. A hummingbird joins them. I hope we've had enough rain for the flowers to produce nectar although being in a lowland with plenty of underground water, it probably isn't an issue. It does my heart good to see these things.
  There are white puffs of seeds from the poplars wafting around like disenfranchised snow. The dandelions haven't gone to seed yet so they'll get chopped back before they have a chance to invade the neighbour's lawn.
  There is a pair of robins nesting nearby. I noticed the broken, cast off turquoise shell in the ditch. Mom and dad are a common sight in my front yard as they hunt for worms and grubs. There must be plenty there because it doesn't take long for them to find a beak full.
  The sun is shining, the air is warm. It's begging me to get outside. So I will.
  "And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." Is 35:10
