Behold the Lilies of the Field

Today is the first day of spring, which means that, having returned to Utah after living in Thailand for 20 years, I have now successfully survived my first winter in over two decades. That's a long time to be away, and my body only made feeble attempts at acclimating to the Thai heat and humidity. I am getting old now, so I wasn't sure how this first winter would go. Would my body do any better at acclimating to the cold? But shout it from the rooftops, I have sailed through Utah's "cold season" with flying banners! Cheers! I'm celebrating by unveiling these lovely lilies, taken 12 years ago, on New Zealand's North Island. What is ironic is that, even though this image looks very much like, and was taken just a few days prior to, the first day of spring, whoops, the whole world is upside down. Today marks the first day of New Zeland's fall! Oh, well, don't think about it too much, Jesus said, "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
