As winter gives way to spring, Edna's garden is full of the signs of new life as you can see from the pictures above.
Thank you Edna for sending these beautiful pictures showing various spring flowers that have sprung into life in your garden.
Did you know that the word Lent comes from the Anglo-Saxon word lencten meaning "lengthen" and refers to the lengthening days of spring. Laudate Sunday is always the fourth Sunday of Lent which is also Mothering Sunday. In most churches, it is a tradition for children to give flowers to their mothers.
There is new life all around us if we take time to stop and look. And so we look forward to Easter when Jesus was crucified but rose on the third day, giving us new life.
And now for something completely different, it's competition time again.
Last week I spoke about the imagination of children. On a visit to Tandle Hill Country park, Archie saw a rabbit hole. He said, "Peter Rabbit lives there". What do think Archie said the rock next to the rabbit hole is?
