Those grays and browns are OK in February...but not now that the first greening has started. I do love that passage from Isaiah. I'm pretty pooped from school right before spring break.

Today, I was training 6th grade teachers on scoring the state ELA test and I not only had to look like I was with it but needed a mic so they could hear me.

I hope I'll be able to join in, but still awaiting our overdue baby boy. Thank you, Carol, for the words of scripture - "... those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength..."

Everything is gorgeous green, lush and full of promise. And there's a kiss of cool in the weather. So I share your feelings, but whilst it's the winter-greys you're farewelling, for us it was the earthy tones of brittle grass and bare dirt. Now green!<br /><br />Feel better soon, Carol. xKatApel - katswhiskers.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297639228969549518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587706174618725555.post-40591295220264036992019-04-05T00:55:03.210-04:002019-04-05T00:55:03.210-04:00Linda, thanks for being the first to stop.
