Tucson, Arizona in January 2025

 I recently spent a week in Tucson, Arizona with my son and his family.  It was surreal for me to leave sub-freezing temperatures and snow, and arrive in a sort of Shangri La where the weather was beautiful, sunny, and welcoming.  It makes me look forward to Heaven where all will be perfect and amazing, including the weather!!


Here are some of the beautiful plants and trees that abound!

Favorite 2024 Blooms

 I'm thinking about my favorites from this year's blooms. 

I wanted to post them all here so I can look at them during the cold dreary winter days ahead. 

I see God's handiwork in these delicate flowers.

It makes me long for the gardens in Heaven where the colors and shapes will take my breath away.

I read about someone who had a vision of Heaven and the flowers and grass were singing!  Can you imagine that??

I hope these beautiful creations inspire you with hope!

The Blooms Are Here

Song of Solomon 2:12

I'm enjoying all the beauty of spring around me.

I hope you are inspired by God's handiwork too!









I just found this massive Wisteria on my street!!

Breathtaking blooms!
