A Simple Recipe for Spring

Step 1: Bathe everything in a very generous amount of warm sunshine.Step 2: Wait for an awful lot of all this to melt.  Allow it to soak in thoroughly.Step 3: Enjoy the results, springing up from the sun-soaked, well-watered, nitrogen-infused happy earth.

“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
            And do not return there without watering the earth
            And making it bear and sprout,
            And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;
            It will not return to Me empty,
            Without accomplishing what I desire,
            And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.”

(Isaiah 55:10-11)
