I found this tree in the Koog ZanDyke neighborhood just outside of Zandaam the Netherlands
I suppose it’s more of a giant pine cone than a leaf but I thought it was kind of cool.
This post was written in response to the Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: SPRING

I actually do feel pretty springish today. It’s not that the traditional things like daffodils or tulips are abounding anywhere (even the first dandelions haven’t budded yet) but this was us two short weeks ago.
So the fact that today my world looks like this
gives me hope that spring has finally arrived!

Howdy Everyone! I am getting back on track with blogging after my second illness in two weeks. I finished with the flu and promptly caught a horrific cold. I am on the upside of that now and would love to be enjoying the flower gardens right along with Cee. Since however it is all of 40 degrees and the only thing growing in my garden right now is frustration I thought I had better share some pretty-pretty pics from last years trip to Holland.
A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.
Just living is not enough… one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.
Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower.

Find more about shadows here:
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don’t.
When walking through the ‘valley of shadows,’ remember, a shadow is cast by a Light.

Here are this week’s questions to self-discovery:
For your blog do you basically use Windows or Mac, laptop, desktop, pad, or phone?
For writing my blog I use my desk top Windows almost exclusively. when reading and commenting I am generally on my Kindle.
As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
As a boy I wanted to be a naturalist. But from eighth grade on I was pretty certain I wanted to be a pastor and a writer. I am one of those few fortunate given the privilege to realize his dreams. I love my life.
Did you grow up in a small or big town? Did you like it?
I grew up in a small town called Winchendon. My Grandad, my Dad and my Mom were all involved heavily in civic organizations and town politics. My folks owned a restaurant that was sort of the hub for local gossip and I started working there when I was fourteen. My graduating class was 72 kids. I absolutely loved the small town experience and wouldn’t have traded it for the world.
How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
About 80. I’ve been called an old soul, but I think I’m pretty spry for an eighty year old.
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I am so grateful for the opportunity to teach our church’s membership class and to host our town’s community garden planning meeting. I am so looking forward to Good friday, Easter and to celebrating my daughter’s 24th birthday! Oh and I am looking forward to the spring snow melting away. Here is what I woke up to this morning.
Beautiful but soooooo wrong!

Like most things I have been creating lately this is more conceptual than realistic but it seems to be the space I am in right now.
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eyeis evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Luke 11:34
