April 21

I've been busy this week so I haven't had much of a chance to notice much of anything (beyond what's right in front of me, of course. And even then, I'm sure I've still missed stuff!). So this afternoon, I went out into the back yard to look around and saw this.

This is just one of the many beautiful, vibrant roses I found. I also found an apple tree that, based on the number of itty-bitty apples on its branches, is preparing to produce a bumper crop, and a host of orange blossoms that will no doubt yield fruit of their own ilk in a few months' time.

A lovely little spot, tended by God's hand (because Heaven knows I haven't done it!). It's amazing what He can do, even when we don't do much of anything to help.
