Spring sings in soft tones ...
The gentle harbingers of spring, those lovely little two-winged singing creatures, have started making their appearance once again. After a long winter respite, we see again the activity of nature and the busy creatures preparing for the new season. The daffodills have raised their yellow bonnets to the sun and the tulip blooms have begun to peek through their long green leaves. It is time to sing with the birds and the flowers that spring has arrived ...and it has officially arrived here at Charm & Grace.
After our winter break, there is a fresh new look to our website. I hope you enjoy the new bouquet in our banner. In this issue you will find articles on everything from daffodils, to the gardens of England, to April Cornell, and more. There is an Azalea Trail in Texas that adds up to 20 miles of viewing pleasure! Don't miss the lovely photographs in our Spring Fling article by the talented Paul Noah, and be sure to see our photographs from England by Robyn and Perry Granberry. Just in time for the newest Narnia movie, "Prince Caspian", we have an article on C.S. Lewis, the author of that classic series. Our featured recipes are all about eating your "greens." The door to spring has officially opened... so come inside and see the splendor of this radiant season!
The sun's glow begins to warm the earth...
The harsh winter shadows diffuse
with the beginnings of color all around
The melodic songs of our beautiful winged friends fill the air
We feel an aliveness that is akin to a crisp burst of air in a stale room
We are certain that beauty awaits in the coming days
as we watch the mild greens deepen
and the colors of spring fill the landscape.
