Don't you just love when spring subtly comes along? Those warm breezes are refreshing; the sun lightens our mood; every blooming flower is a little surprise of color.
To brighten your day, I'll show you a place that is very close to my heart...

| This path actually has a lot of meaning to me. When the Pitchers (a missionary family that has now moved back to the U.S.) lived just across the river, this is where we would meet, play and explore. Since they moved, I haven't been around this area. I guess I just forgot about it. But not anymore. |
 |
| There is a little "farm house" right next to the river (it's really more of a stream, I guess) that has chickens... |
 |
| ...goats... |
 |
| ...and an adorable little kitty. |
 |
| When I was a kid, there wasn't a bridge here. We would always hop across rocks to cross the stream. In fact, I hadn't even seen this bridge until now! |
 |
| What a beautiful way to connect the two sides of this village. |
 |
| Splashing our feet, collecting pretty rocks, picking flowers, walking as far as we could in the water... I have so many memories here. |
 | | |
| Crocuses are one of my favorite flowers, because when they bloom, it is almost guaranteed that Spring is here to stay! |
 |
| On my way back home. |

ReplyDeleteGrace: I'm so glad you wrote! I'm just glad we have fun memories like that- you'd only get that in the country, in a little town like ours. Walking across the fields, across the stream. :) I hope you can come back to this place again some day (soon!). I miss you!
