Spring is here in the South, and that means ridiculous pollen … and weeds. I finished cleaning up the Mary garden and my roses, and have started tackling some other areas that I want to prettify.

Meanwhile, the hubs is mowing the lawn to help with the clean-up. Unfortunately, these little wildflowers get wiped out in the mowing. They are so tiny and so sweet that I’d like to see them stick around for a little while longer.

 “If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.” St. Thérèse of Lisieux

The rain let up for a little while. Not enough for the sun to come out, but enough for that freshly washed feel to the world.

It’s the perfect time to play in puddles, or find a nice spot to drink a hot cup of coffee and look at the puddles if you prefer to keep your feet dry.

The reflection of the church across the street caught my eye. It’s just the top of the church, where a cross reaches higher toward heaven. Catching the reflection in the puddle drew my eyes to the source, and then upward again.
