Renewal

As I walk past the neighborhood landscape gardener, I see him washing his trucks. “Getting ready?” I ask. “Next week we start,” he replied. 

It’s all starting, this spring that we’ve been waiting all winter for. Fifty-five degrees and brilliant sunshine has been the theme of the last few days. People are out walking and running, and a shared bond seems to unite us.  We are ready.

Crocuses!

Crocuses are popping up. Tiny growths in the ground hint of daffodils and hyacinths not far behind.

An extra hour of light at night, the vernal equinox upon us, and I am a changed person. Spring is all about renewal. Sign me up.
