God’s other book: Pastel hallelujah

Posted on April 17, 2021 by seriouslyseekinganswers

Happy Spring, everyone! Finally …

For a while there, it seemed like the winter season that began around Thanksgiving in 2019 just kept on going right through 2020 and into last month. But fairer weather has definitely arrived.

Our trees are loaded with blossoms and the whole yard, front and back, is awash in lovely spring colors — as if singing a pastel hallelujah.

The trees pictured here, from top to bottom, are crabapple, black cherry, pink and white dogwood, pear, redbud, and a small tree we call “the clubhouse” because dozens of little brown birds gather in its branches for their own choir practice.

Thanks be to God for blooming trees!

Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures, Debbi Sue.
We used to have cherry trees, too, and I always loved them. Light pink blossoms with burgundy leaves. – So classy! 😉

I am so ready. The goldfinches have turned bright yellow, so the trees can’t be too far behind.

  We have some goldfinches in our area. I wish I knew how to attract more of them to our yard. I love them.

    They love sunflowers. I also put out niger feed in feeders just for finches.

    I need to find a sunny spot for sunflowers. I’ve been meaning to try those.

    I like them because they “thrive on neglect,” my idea of gardening.
