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, the world is upside down: Today marks the
first day of New Zealand'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." |
