In just the last few weeks almost all the snow has melted, except for where it had been piled or accumulated in the ditches. The birds have clearly taken notice and seem to all be coming back north at the same time.
Some of the birds I’ve seen in great numbers this week are canadian geese, tundra swans, mallard ducks, and red-winged blackbirds.
Happy New Year! I can hardly believe we’re changing our calendars for the start of 2025. The years roll by faster each time and I choose to remember that the remaining years ahead are not up to me, but are in His capable, trustworthy hands.
And He changes the times and the seasons;
Daniel 2:21
He removes kings and raises up kings;
He gives wisdom to the wise
And knowledge to those who have understanding.
To everything there is a season,
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
A time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted;
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
Ecclesiastes 3:11
You have set all the borders of the earth;
Psalm 74:17
You have made summer and winter.
‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.
Jeremiah 32:17
While visiting Arizona in early April I was delighted to enjoy the green, spring-like desert. I know from experience that the Arizona desert is not normally this green, making the view a real treat.
