It does grow back

Life's lessons come to us in all different formats and times.  I live in a place where it still can freeze up to Memorial Day, that is at the end of May. Yes is snowed a little here 2 days ago, no it didn't stay long but it snowed.  Today it has been raining and so did it yesterday.   Me and my wife took a little walk around the yard after it rained.  We stopped by our lilac bushes and looked at the flowers that were starting to bud.  It was beautiful.  Just a little bit of rain water was sitting in the buds.  I wish I had the picture that I took to show you. Very beautiful.   We also have strawberries and raspberries that we have been growing the past couple of years.  The strawberries seem to not really die (or hibernate, or whatever plants do during the winter) but the raspberries-well the stems look dead all winter long.  The first summer after winter, after we planted them, we cut them back because we thought that they were dead.  Well guess what they weren't.  We didn't know that until a couple of years later when we didn't get them cut back fast enough and they started to grow back.  Yea, we could have some real nice raspberry bushes right now.  Well life is like that some times. It could be with a lot of different opportunities, sometimes it does grow back.  An opportunity that we thought had passed could come around to us again.  someone that we thought we would never see, or hear from again we do. What ever it may be it could and sometimes does come back around to us again.

Happy living.
