HAIL

Break

Hello, Blog friends I have missed you. I have taken a break from blogging. Every spare moment is enjoyed being outdoors. Don’t you just love the beautiful weather we are having! Love it!


Not long ago, I decided to go back to school. Yes, that is right. This 40+ mom and wife enrolled in school. Therefore, really most of my spare time is studying. I finally know what I want to be when I grow up! Ha!

Easter

Pine Tree Crosses

The Pine trees know when it is time for Easter!


The Pine trees start their new growth in the weeks before Easter—if you look at the tops of the Pine trees two weeks before you will see the yellow shoots. As the days get closer to Easter Sunday, the tallest shoot will branch off and form a cross. By the time Easter Sunday comes around, you will see that most of the Pine trees will have small yellow crosses on all the tallest shoots.

 

Spring/Easter

SPRING
• trees budding
• flowers blooming
• birds tweeting
• Easter
• grass turning green
• warmer weather
• flip-flops
• sun dresses
• Spring Break

EASTER (My favorite holiday)
• celebrating Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection
• Jesus died for you and me
• His promise; eternal life

EASTER SYMBOLS
• Empty Cross – symbol of Jesus victory
• Passion Play- dramatize the Easter story
• Easter Lilies- The large, pure white blossoms remind Christians of the pure new life that comes to them through the Resurrection of Jesus.
• Pretzels - their twisted shape suggested arms crossed in prayer
• Lamb- It represents Jesus and relates His death to that of the lamb sacrificed on the first Passover. Jesus "the Lamb of God."
• Easter Egg- represents new life
• Rabbits- associated with the fertility of spring because of their ability to produce many young
• New Easter Clothes- represent the new life offered through the death and Resurrection of Jesus
