March 8, 2020, was spring forward. March 8, 2026, today, is also spring forward. This one hour forward is truly living up to its name, bringing spring a little closer here in Canada.
Today we have 11°C, with rain in the forecast. The white snow piled in the backyard is giving way to patches of green grass. Even nature seems to know the season is changing. My wife Betty spotted a Black Squirrel with a patch of lighter hair, as if it were shedding its winter fur for a fresh new spring coat.
And for us, there is much to do. Spring cleanup for the garden and the house. Spring joy for a safe and wonderful winter now behind us. A fresh season always seems to awaken fresh energy, fresh ideas, and fresh purpose.
Spring also reminds us that God does not leave us in the cold places forever. What looked buried, silent, or lifeless through winter can begin to breathe again under His care. In His timing, He brings new growth, fresh strength, and quiet beauty into every part of our lives.
So let me ask you, dear FB friends: what spring projects are you contemplating? Gardening? Cleaning? Renovating? Writing? Photographing? Or, humourously speaking ... making spring rolls? ✨😊
May this new season move us forward with hope, diligence, gratitude, and joy.
“See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come.” — Song of Solomon Chapter 2 verses 11–12
