Signs of Spring

It's 65 degrees in Durham today. On February 13th, that is. Not sure if that's supposed to happen, but it did allow for these flowers to pop their heads up and say hello this morning.

Seeing nature in bloom gave a real boost to my spirits this morning. It brought to mind the great psalm of creation:

These all look to you to give them their food at the proper time.
When you give it to them, they gather it up;
when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things.
When you hide your face, they are terrified;
when you take away their breath, they die
and return to the dust.
When you send your Spirit, they are created,
and you renew the face of the earth.
- Psalm 104:27-30

Spring is on the way!

(And by the way, what's the name of those little guys growing in my backyard?)
