Spring Mantle – Treasuring the Moments http://treasuringthemoments.net "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" Ecc. 3:1 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 11:26:00 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Spring Mantle – 2012 http://treasuringthemoments.net/2012/03/20/spring-mantle-2012/ http://treasuringthemoments.net/2012/03/20/spring-mantle-2012/#comments Wed, 21 Mar 2012 04:47:28 +0000 http://treasuringthemoments.net/?p=696360 Today is the 1st day of Spring and here was the view out my window this morning… Being Arizona this is not a common sight in Spring!  But since it is Arizona, the snow doesn’t stay around long.

Over Sunday and Monday we got about 12″ of snow.  So much fun…

It seems I just put up my Winter Mantle   but here it is Spring already.  I like how God has the different seasons.  Each one has its own kind of specialness.

So here is my mantle welcoming Spring.

It seems I always have old books on my mantle.  The bird is sitting on a 1×2 piece of wood that I took and glued moss onto.

The orchid was given to me on my birthday and is sitting in a small enameled pot that I “inherited” from a family friend over 20 years ago.  I found the grapevine balls at an antique mall for $.75 each.

I think it’s fitting to have our picture of Jesus here.  He’s the center of our life as well as His birth and resurrection both happened in the Spring time.

I’m joining up with Layla at the Lettered Cottage.   If you want to see many other spring mantles, go take a visit.There’s lots of them there.
