{2013 spring giveaway}

Umm...anybody remember last March?

I, for one, will never forget it.

Here, in a region that typically is a hold-out in welcoming spring, I heard a lawn mower on March 13.  A week later I was swinging on our porch swing, admiring the sight of budding trees and inhaling the sweetness of spring.

Yeah, it was unusual.

For just moments ago, I heard the meteorologist's forecast:
something about a wind chill of -5 
(again, unusual to the opposite extreme).

Anybody else ready for a little spring?  
A little hope-filled reminder that spring, indeed, is on its way?


As has become my custom here at Kindred Hearts,
each spring I host a little spring giveaway.
It's my way of saying thanks for hanging out here;
thanks for reading and commenting and offering me so much encouragement.
I value your presence and want you to know it!

Just leave a little comment to let me know you're here.
You'll be entered to win a box of spring lovelies from me to you.
Go 'head...you have from now till Friday evening, March 22.
Winner will be announced Friday night!

It's sunny here, but not very warm yet (although last week Thursday and Friday were lovely). It would make me so happy to get some pretty springy things from you. :) Thank you for this generous offer!

Also, you might like knowing that I'm a bridesmaid for a certain lovely young lady this coming June. I couldn't be happier. :)

It's hard to forget last year's Spring! Yearning for Spring ... warmer days ... no more snow! We will be all that more thankful for our first blissfully warm day!

Spring is my favorite time of the year- I love all the new life that appears and the old life waking up that has been asleep all winter. It is a time for revival in our hearts!
God bless

Let's have last spring back, shall we? Watching the weather last night, it said last year it was a high of 83!!! And yesterday only hit 21. LOL. What a difference.

You know how Scripture commands us to "Rejoice always" and "in everything, give thanks..."? Well, right now I'm thankful I don't live in Alaska!

After our 20 degree welcome to the first day of spring, I can't wait for warm and sunshine!
