The Birds Begin to Sing...

Just when I thought spring had arrived...winter staged a comeback. When I looked out the window this morning it seemed as though someone had picked up a snowglobe and shaken it! Sky Lake was once again blanketed in snow. It's amazing how just an inch or so of the white stuff can cover everything--the trees, the gray snowbanks, the roads. I do have to admit that it was quite stunning.

Then as I walked to my car after church my soul was warmed by the sound of robins singing. I didn't see any, but their distinctive voice reminded me that, despite the snow, spring is indeed on its way!
