Spring

Some of our beautiful spring crocuses

Just lately I have been noticing the signs of Spring.  There has been rain instead of snow, and the sun shines longer and warmer.  Birds are singing a lot, lawns are starting to turn green, the trees and rose bushes are getting ready to put leaves on, and we have beautiful crocuses growing near our mailbox.

Of course, there are also allergies, and wasps, and weeds.  There is a lot of outside work to do, and not all of it is enjoyable.  However, Spring is so beautiful, and is a good reminder that there are new beginnings, that cold and dark will eventually turn to warmth and light.  There is opposition in everything.  Good and bad to be found.  But in Spring, even while sneezing, pulling weeds, and hunting wasps, it is easier for me to feel that good wins, and that light always overcomes darkness.
