Bittersweet Farm

We traveled light to Mexico. I packed a blue blazer and kaki slacks, some dress shirts and work clothes. I wore a wonderful used pair of loafers I discovered in “lost and found.” I kept them shined up. They looked great. When we returned from Mexico we were to report to Nashville and then go through Ft. Wayne, Indiana to perform a wedding before returning home. I didn’t have a suit for the wedding but I didn’t want to have to carry one all over Mexico. I hoped that a blazer would do.

The sun is shining on the Granville Cottage and the temperature is going to be over 50 degrees today! The snow is melting into little rivulets and running away. Holly has been driving around with her sunroof open. Hazard is straining at his lead. Saturday the boys rolled the basketball goal out into the drive. The neighborhood is coming out of hibernation. The church house was nearly full yesterday. (We still have a whole section of the balcony that I call left field bleachers to fill). We are Michigan people so we know we could still get slammed with winter weather, but for now we are blissful as the birds and singing the praises of spring. Sunday morning just before church Bessie Bass told me they had crocuses coming up through the snow in their backyard in Rockwood. She said it with a smile on her face and a gleam in her eye. Hope springs eternal in the human breast.

We have ordered 10,000 invitation cards. The people of Evangel will use them to invite friends to visit on Resurrection Sunday. We are praying that the balcony will be full and that it doesn’t snow. Hey Hazard wants out. I gotta’ run.
