The Blossoming Beauty of March in Northeast Georgia
One cannot begin to describe the intricate beauty with which our Creator has made each flower. How such a small thing can be so delicate, so fragrant. The beautiful, diverse daffodils have a fragrance that is as pretty as any perfume. The tulips, with small, crystal-clear water droplets clinging to their petals, are so simple yet stunning. Dogwood trees, with their cross-shaped blossoms and crimson shaded tips, spread throughout the yard and woodland, adding a touch of spring to the bare limbs. The new greenery looks picturesque, with glistening raindrops shimmering against the dark green of iris shoots.
Walking through the woods, I see wild cherry trees in bloom, and the honeybees are gathering nectar from their snow-white inflorescence. Our peach trees are flowering, and they have such lovely blossoms which will soon be beautiful delicious fruit! Blueberry bushes have clusters of blossoms hanging daintily from their stems, and the butterflies enjoy congregating amongst them. Indigo and white-colored violets have an unassuming, graceful charm about them, generously spreading themselves around the yard. Vinca creeps and climbs up the rocks, adding a pretty purple to the drab gray.
This is just a small glimpse of March where I live in Northeast Georgia, and of all the beauty of the month. Surely, ” He (God) hath made everything beautiful in His time”! Ecclesiastes 3:11
