Good morning everybody!!
It's such a gorgeous day. I love Spring mornings (especially when I don't have school!) I've been planning on going for bike rides in the morning for a while, so last week my dad helped me pump up my tires and, wouldn't you know it, the next morning one of them was flat again. So now we have to go get a new tire. But you know... I'm okay with that. Now I can enjoy the colors and warm weather without speeding past it (because you know I'm a speed demon on a bike... haha.)
My favorite things about Spring are the colors and the rain. I love the flowers and the green grass and the popcorn popping on the apricot tree! Someone asked me the other day what my favorite flower is, and at the time I didn't really think I had a favorite. I said, "oh I like 'em all!" Tulips, roses, daisies, lilies, carnations... you name it! But just a few days ago I realized I do have one... lilacs. At the store where I work (which is actually just a little old house that has been adopted) there are these random bushes all around the yard/parking lot, and since I only
started working there in August I didn't notice until this week that they're lilac bushes! One reason that I love them so much is because they're gorgeous and the smell is simply heaven!! Another reason, the biggest reason, is because they remind me of my Grandma Jean. (Most of you know what I mean.) She had a lilac bush in her front yard and I remember whenever we would go visit my grandparents we would pick some to take in to her. I can't ever walk by a lilac bush without thinking about her.
Speaking of my grandma, this week I have felt her extra close to me. Heavenly Father is so amazing, and I'm grateful that He allows the people that we know to help us, even if it's through the veil. If ever there was a guardian angel, she's it. They really are closer than we think.
Well, I'm signing off now. I hope you all have a great week! Love ya!

I have the exact same memories of lilac bushes, you must have the same gramma as me!!!
I love your blog. Keep up the great writing
Yeah, the lilacs are definitely a Grandma thing. My mom wanted some lilac bushes, too, and I think they remind her of Grandma. That, and roses. I have enjoyed the lilac bush this week here at their house. I feel pretty lucky to get to stay here and think of them alot. Especially with the flowers blooming and the garden growing. Enjoy your spring! I don't think it will last too long.
