April Blessing

 We woke this morning to a white world. No motorcycling for Dan today. Instead, we dug out Noah's boots for school recess.

By early afternoon, I was fielding calls about cancelled sporting events. Cold temperatures held the flocking in place. "No baseball game or practice," Aaron said, "And the track meet's been cancelled too."

For me,

the day felt like Christmas

without the stress

of baking or gift making.

Instead, nature provided

the best gift -

postcard beauty,

nitrogen-rich fertilizer

and a quiet moment

in our busy family schedule.

Truly an April Blessing.
