springtime in the valley...

The joyful birds prolong the strain,
 their songs with every spring renewed...


the air we breathe,
and falling rain.
each softly whispers...
God is good.
~John Gurney

It's springtime.
It is beautiful...
even in the rain!

  2. You have so many wonderful spring flowers up and blooming. The bleeding hearts, daffodils, azaleas...all looking lovely . Yes, even in the rain. I'm sure the rain is very good for them. It's as dry as a tinderbox over here so we'll be glad when our rain arrives overnight.

    I like the angel chorus singing, too. Very sweet!

  3. And I think it is also beautiful because of the rain.
    I absolutely LOVE the first photo. I think it would be lovely in a frame. Do you know what kind of bird it is?

  6. Beautiful shots of your yard. It looks so pretty this time of year when there is only new and all the old is gone away.

  7. With a house, garden and view as pretty as yours Judy, the rain only makes everything shimmer even more brightly!

    Hopefully we get rain here in New York and Lomg Island very soon, otherwise we may be in trouble soon.

  8. We're needing some rain down here, so feel free to wish some down our way.

    Judy, your home and grounds are always so pretty - just perfect.

    Spring is my very favorite season of the year.

  12. Beautiful spring pictures! Sounds like God really blessed your trip to Fresno and the sale. God always provides for His work done His way! What a blessing to be a part of that! :-)
