This is so beautiful and I answer the call! This prompts and moves me toward something that has been stirring for a week or so… Mother’s Day. It is my first in a lifetime of my sweet mom being in heaven and not on this earthly plane. How do I navigate this season when I used to cherish sending Mom flowers or a gift and hearing her voice on the phone… Because she loved May and flowers… In her honor shall I go plant seeds in one location? Shall I buy a packet of seeds and sprinkle them randomly on a Sunday drive? Shall I make the journey to a special place and sprinkle her ashes? Mostly I just would love to TALK to her and see her smile. So dear friends – as a few tears flow while writing this, I think I know my answer. She would want me to live into May with JOY for all of God’s beauty. And I certainly will answer that call.

I often wonder if we are out walking our dogs at the same time. 🙂 Up here in the mountains when the last patches of snow and ice cling desperately, I sometimes feel a little desperate for any sprig of green I can find at this time of year. I swear I personally summon the pussy willows into existence every year with my begging. Mud is everywhere; fresh snow appeared on the peaks yesterday, BUT I have faith. And sure enough I could see that thickening of the branches today on my walk. I guess it’s the AK version of the mustard seed? Thank you for sharing. I’m answering the call!

Thanks for you lovely words Rebecca.

Today Lucas was crossing the bay in the skiff and his blood pressure shot up seriously high. He called Jim who rushed out with the big boat and whisked him off to Homer where Beka met him and took him to the emergency room. We are waiting for the results. Please hold them in your prayers.

The writing on spring had a calming perspective for me, Thank you.
