Spring's Reminder

Spring flowers are God's reminder that despite the cold of winter, despite the destruction of tornadoes, hurricanes, and fire, and despite the actions of those that try to annoy you, things return again, bright and cheerful, and it's all going to be okay.  It might not be okay right now, but it will. Just wait.


It's not officially spring yet, but the signs show it's getting close. There are some jonquils blooming in our neighborhood. As a matter of fact, I saw some last week that were covered by snow this weekend. But it takes more than a little snow to mess them up and they're fine now. Truthfully, the ones blooming now really are too early, but you can't blame them when we've had temperatures in the 70s, even in February!

Ours are not blooming yet, though the green leaves are up and ready. The tulips are poking out of the ground as well. So far, no blooms on the trees, but have seen tiny little green leaves poking out on some wild thing on the neighbor's fence.

Personally, I'm hoping our flowers wait until "real" spring, as in March 20, but doubt they will. The only reason I care is that once they bloom, they'll be gone... just don't want to see the flowers gone before we even get there!
A part of me is looking forward to it, but at the same time, admit to a bit of uneasiness... not sure why, as the probable reasons vary, but not getting into that now.

    Bonjour, Je me permets de vous écrire pour vous faire part de mon intérêt de participer au blog de Mr Steve et c'est lui qui m'a permis de faire le rencontre heureux de Fruto do Espírito de Lucy . Comme j'ai eu du mal à poster mon commentaire à propos des effets néfastes du vin j'ai cherché le faire par le biais d'un de vos commentaires.
    En effet et comme tout dans le monde et selon mon point de vu très humble je ne peux que sentir que le vin est à la fois bénéfique et à la fois maléfique, c'est la loi de la vie et peut être la loi des opposés. Or pour moi le Christ n'a ni interdit ni conseillé exagérément de boire. Dans le miracle sur le vin il a seulement prétendu lors d'une fête que tous les invités puissent vivre plus heureux en profitant ainsi de la convivialité.
    Pour le reste et à propos de alcoolisme, c'est un autre problème celui de l'arbitre personnel de exagérer au pas sur des Beuvrages et orgies exagérées. C'est une question de bon poids et bonne mesure. C'est à l'homme de faire le choix sur le mieux adéquate entre l'acceptable et pas acceptable au sens de la famille, entourage ou société qui a aussi ses règles et se sanctions.
    Mon Papa qui est déjà parti ne pouvais pas s'en passer et cela l'a emporté irrémédiablement en étant aussi aidé par la maladie qui ne pardonne pas : le diabète...
    Boire au ne pas boire je crois que la question ne se pose même pas, si on peut boire bien et si on ne peut pas, on ne boit pas ou alors on boit moins. La question est plutôt de pouvoir s'arrêter et à chacun sa limite pas la même pour tout le monde.
    Il y a tellement de problèmes dans notre monde...J'aimerais pouvoir en parler de certains mais je dois m'arrêter là...Pour ceux qui veulent en connaitre un peu plus je laisse ici un peu de l’aperçu de ma propre vie...
    J'aime aussi les fleurs...Elles aussi peuvent se tromper quand le clima change...
    Salvé!

  2. so I went to a free translation online to figure out what this says:

    Salvé Hello, I allow myself to write you to be part of you my interest to participate in the blog of Mr Steve and is him that allowed me to do the happy encounter of Fruto do Espírito of Lucy. As I had trouble to post my commentary about the harmful effects of the wine I looked for to do it by the bias of one of your commentaries. In fact and as all in the world and according to my point of very humble view I can only to feel that the wine is at once beneficial and at once malefic, this is the law of life and can be the law of the opposed. Now for me the Christ did not do or forbid or advised exagérément to drink. In the miracle on the wine it only claimed at the time of a party that all the guests can live happier profiting from it thus friendliness. For the remainder and about alcoholism, this is another problem the one of the personal referee to exaggerate to the step on Beuvrages and exaggerated orgies. This is a question of good weight and good measure. It is at the man to make the choice on the better adequate one between the acceptable one and not acceptable to the direction of the family, entourage or corporation that has also its rules and themselves penalties. My Dad that already left did not can to happen some and that took it irreparably while also being helped by the disease that does not forgive: the diabetes... Drink to the do not drink I believe that the question does not put itself even, if one can drink well and if one do not can, one does not drink or then one drinks less. The question is rather to be able to stop itself and to each his limit not the same for everyone. There are so problems in our world. ..J'aimerais to be able in to talk about certain ones but I must stop myself there. ..Pour those that want in connaitre a little more I leave here a little the become aware of my own life... I like also the flowers. ..Elles also can be mistaken when the clima changes...
