Spring is just around the corner and it is obvious. The Easter lilies, candy, and eggs are lining the stores. Flowers are in full bloom. In the Fresno area, the hills are lined with green grass and poppies. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom and it is breathtaking. I long for the sunny, clear days when I can gaze at the snow capped Sierra Nevadas. In the evening, I can hear the cooing of the doves which reminds me so much of my fondest childhood memories, growing up in this area. I am reminded of the beauty of creation and find myself thankful to be surrounded with such life.
