I am looking out the front window of Kirsha’s house at a lemon hanging from a branch on a lemon tree. It is almost fully yellow—a bright sunny yellow—with just a touch of green on the bottom. The fronds of a palm tree across the street branch out in amazing symmetry and every where I look there is a different shade of green. I called home and heard that there is snow on the ground in Utah. A cold, white world back home. A temperate, green world here. But it is all beautiful!This trip has reminded me how beautiful this world is and that I need to slow down and let the beauty sink in. Stopping to look and enjoy the sight, like I am now, I actually feel a surge of enthusiasm and joy trickle through me. It fills me with super-powers!
Besides that, it is almost like I can hear my Father in Heaven chuckling as He says, “Yes, Sherrie, I created this for you. So enjoy! Enjoy!”

You should feel blessed to be feeling sunshine right now. Wouldn't that be great to grow a lemon tree in your front yard? You're right about the snow here in Utah - in fact I think we had an entire foot of snow here in Orem this morning. It's melting quickly though. Thanks again for your wonderful, uplifting posts. Have a fun vacation.
Kellie, Thank you! It's good to hear from you again. We did have a great time. I'm glad we missed the storm!
Mmmmmm...I can almost smell the lemon scent through this picture. Thank you. And Thanks to our Heavenly Father for His creations.
