spring time

what is it about spring time that just gives us a boost? it has to be more than just the weather--(although sunshine is a plus) I think in our human nature--it is just good to see things 'renewed' the once dormant plants--take on leaves again and flowers come back and leaves and we can't help but think how one day--after we sleep in death-- that we too will be renewed and resurrected through the power of the preistood and through the great atonement. Somehow --this always gives me a hopeful feeling.
I may just add here that we are very blessed to have this hope and this knowledge. I love watching the transformation from winter to spring and then all of the sudden--its summer in full swing before you know it. The days seem to come and go so quickly--I can hardly keep track
we are in the middle of April all ready --can you believe it? there is a tradition that on may day
may 1st--people used to leave flowers on others door steps--another tradition by some is to give daffadils to someone having a tough time--we aren't having a particullary tough time more than anyone else I know --but sue and rick chapman dropped these flowers in the picture off to bryan and I--so it makes me want to pass some flowers along to someone else---and brighten their day--and challege--all of you to give a flower or two--on may day--just for fun
