This Week at Iten's Acres: Spring Break March 26th, 2018

This is the first official day of spring break. Sunshine--though the rain is coming. I get in as many walks as I can. Do a little planting. Will try to build or re-do a few beds--weather permitting. This has been a slow spring. New crocus are still popping up. The Lenten roses are struggling to bloom. Today, I finally had my first daffodil--a dwarf yellow under the Ancient Red Maple. I will also be "feeding the iris" this week. And maybe some chain saw work. I have... enough of that to last a couple thousand years. The most beautiful thing to "bloom" on today's walk was my first bluebird--hanging out in the meadow. Stunning. Hope he is impressed with The Acres and starts a family in the neighbor.
I know I say this often, but beauty surrounds us. No one can deny that our God is a lover of beauty--and that He will in His timing make all things beautiful. His eternal "masterpiece" will not be denied. And He uses us as his "paint brushes" to reveal His beauty in the world--His world. Each day. I intend to bask in the emerging beauty of The Acres this week. (I may not be on here too much this week.) I will be coming to the garden alone--enjoying the conversation--doing the listening with a thankful heart. "It is glory just to walk with Him."
