Spring

The Nanking cherries are showing color in their buds now, so maybe tomorrow or the next day they will bloom. They are a wild cherry that grows brilliant red tiny berries but the jelly is absolutely marvelous. The wild plums are getting bigger buds and the lilac's leaves are starting to open. The honeysuckle is leafed out with tiny leaves now. The iris are up and getting taller. But best of all the bleeding heart is coming up. I plant one every place we live in memory of Grandma Grant. It's time to cut back the old stems of the yarrow and mums and time to pen the orphan lambs in the pasture with the other sheep so they won't get into the garden. Because soon it will be cold season seed planting time and I bet sheep love spinach, baby pea vines and other such delicacies.
Merle was sick this morning so we missed out on our serenade. A conference pastor had church so we had power point and he talked about treasure hunters in the desert (of which he is one) and compared it to our need to treasure hunt in God's word.
Walter it turns out had to have a temporary pacemaker inserted to see if that relieves his cardiac problems (NOT GOUT).
Went and saw Edna and Bill in Roubideau Canyon and she is doing great!
Glenda not at church. I know Ernie isn't doing well. Probably the next funeral. Glenda told me Rachel(age 3) is asking her now if she(Glenda) is old. Because they have been telling her that people who die are old. So Glenda had to tell her that no, she wasn't old at all. Children sometimes are just too smart and clever.
It's nice and warm today. Spring, spring, oh how I love Spring!
Once upon a time I didn't understand how people said they came to church for the friendship, I thought it was an incorrect reason, but you know, friends are a very good reason to come to church. Yes, we come to worship God but people are what make our worship more meaningful and we are Jesus's companionship to one another.
Bill and Julie having troubles healthwise. Keep them in your prayers. Old age is not a golden time in any way for most. Rust might be a more appropriate term.
