The hives have been delivered to the orchards and the blossoms have begun to open. Not quite early enough so some of the bees have made it to our backyard and you can sit and listen to the hum as they cover my jade plant which is still in bloom as you can see. The scent has changed and spring is in the air! Trees are filling out with blossoms everywhere and gardens are changing their look as the new spring flowers begin to show their colors. Driving south this week with students, it was beautiful as the orchards are filling out and the color and smell is amazing! Our gardens are changing as well and the walk with coffee is exciting again as I wait for each new addition. We have harvested our oranges and were excited by the flavor! Things taste sooo different when you have grown them yourself. You can see a glimpse of our covered patio which is where so much time is spent. As Spring arrives with all it's new changes so has our family life. The house is filled with teens most nights and the children have both passed yet another trip around the sun. Amazing how change continues and life gives you yet more and more. It is fun to have a few more teens make their selves at home with our family. We returned recently from a trip with several teens and as they woke the next morning, it was a pleasant surprise to walk into my home and smell the scent of breakfast and see the kitchen filled with teens. One of them was filling plates with the food he had prepared as the others were all around the table eating and laughing. I must say it was nice to see somebody other than my two making himself at home in our kitchen. So as Spring comes and blesses us with newness, so does life with all it's new blessings.
