Spring Things

At this time of year, we here in Manitoba, start looking for signs of spring. Yes, the calendar says spring, but our weather doesn’t always agree.

I did find a few signs that spring is on the way. 

The Ground Squirrel has woke up and is busy feeding himself. That seems to be what they do best.

One evening while waiting for the sunset, I noticed the grasses and how they were highlighted by the low angle sun.

Some kind of weed also caught the last rays of sunlight.

Back at my house, I heard a lot of running and thumping. I was surprised when I looked to see that this big old Fox Squirrel was sitting in the window feeder. He seemed too think he owned the place and didn’t even want to leave when I was right up against the window.

A recent crescent moon caught my attention. Sometimes I find the crescent moon even more lovely than a full moon.

Since we are right at the Easter weekend, I will share the words to a song that talks about the Good Friday events. If you care to hear the song, click on the link below.

Three Men On A Mountain

Chorus:

Three men on a mountain

on crosses of shame

But the one in the middle

was the one without blame

The crowd watched in sorrow

at the terrible scene

Three men on a mountain

but only one man

was there dying for me

Verse One:

Friend, close your eyes and imagine

Calvary long, long ago

The sun hid its face

at the dawning of grace,

the earth started shaking below

Verse Two:

He died for my sin and undoing

He died for my pain and regret

Sent down from above

in a scandal of love

this old world will never forget

(Repeat Chorus)
