Spring

What happens in three weeks time --

-- borders on miracle. Having only grown up in the desert climate of southern california and arizona, I have not known many springs. Three months of winter is just long enough to get used to bare trees, to begin to expect the gray, crooked branches and the look of cold sunlight. Now the trees are budding and coming up with all different shades of green and purple and pink and white, different little flowers are popping up along the roads and sidewalks, and the sun...actually warms your skin. I have found myself several times saying, "I feel like I'm coming alive again!" Spring really is a wonderful thing.
