I can’t believe that it’s Tuesday already, well I can, the days are just flying by now. I go outside and all the grass is getting green and the apple trees are in green tip stage. It’s amazing to see the plants wake up out of their dormancy and blossom into something so beautiful. Spring is so mesmerizing, so open your eyes go outside and do things, enjoy the beauty and thank God for the days you are given. I’m not here to talk about the seasons tonight though.
