Weather can change quickly where I live. During an early spring snow storm, I had some time to look through photos and did this collage. While working on it, I found Catherine's Growing Family blog with 100 Spring Quotes and Spring Sayings to Inspire and Energise You and some humor on her Jokes and Puns page. The main focus of this blog is to provide resources for home, garden, and family.

Hiking outdoors in early spring provides an opportunity to study trees before the leaves hide much of the uniqueness of their branches. These leafless trees have a beauty that is emphasized by the sky and clouds behind them.  "5 I will meditate on the glorious majesty of your honor,
on your wondrous works. 6 Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts. I will declare your greatness. 7 They will utter the memory of your great goodness, and will sing of your righteousness."

Whether it's fast or slow, it all happens in it's own time.  “Spring adds new life and new beauty to all that is.” Jessica Harrelson

Learning the names of the clouds and cloud formations is not all that important, I just enjoy looking at and photographing them. The way the clouds radiated from a central cluster behind the tree was a special moment on a beautiful, sunny March day.  "Now, if God made the clouds so beautiful, did He not mean us to gaze upon them and be thankful for them?” Alfred Rowland

Watching trees, especially mature ones, as they change with each season is something I find inspiring. That they have probably survived heat, cold, drought, diseases, and storms provide hope for a future filled with joy and peace.

There can be snow or ice storms followed by warmer days where the snow quickly melts, or a mild spring-like day can precede a late winter snowstorm. I love watching the first snowfall each year, but by March 1, I’m ready for the January snow and ice to start melting.  From All that Dwell Below the Skies
From all that dwell below the skies, Let the Creator's praise arise; Let the Redeemer's name be sung Through ev'ry land by ev'ry tongue.
