How Many Slams in an Old Screen Door?

"How many slams in an old screen door?  Depends how loud you shut it.  How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em."

 ~shel silverstein

Take a stroll through  this screen door for a little view of spring - from our backyard to you!

A little pause at the kitchen table.  Scout could not believe the letters she  drew..."if I only had an "e"...(sigh)

Our yellow tulips, standing together - so tall and beautiful will be laying on their sides after the winds grind them down today.  They are just beautiful.  I love the crowd.   "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."  Ecclesiastes 4:12
 

If I was a Tulip
And you were wind’s-wings,
I would not count
My broken dreams,
But bless the coming spring.
I would let you see me
In colors-
Pink, yellow and red.
You’d find me blooming
By the riverbed
Or, down in the valley
By the little creek,
To make proud
The water falls,
To make you feel meek.
But strong winds
Of late May
Again could make me weak.
My petals scattered
On the ground
And gone in a week.
But I will come again
To let you see…
Life is but a circle,
I will bloom
Again next spring:
Isn’t it a miracle?
I would be happy
To know that you would
Touch my face
When the sun sets in.
I would feel you in full force,
Gently from within.
You would come to me
Each day-
Again to disappear,
But when the sun’s-rays
Touch at noon-
Again I would feel you near.

                  The blowing in the wind lilac bush.  Wish the flowers
                                would last all summer long.

Now it's time to walk back through the screen door and start my day - since it's now 11:40 a.m.  Thanks for sharing the morning with me. 

Every promise of God proves true;

he protects everyone who runs to him for help.

Proverbs 30: 5a

Happy Weekend to all, Happy Birthday to David (late) and to Wyatt!!  And many, many more.
