Enjoy this gorgeous day!
Oh my, but isn’t it lovely outside?
This is the spring day we’ve all been waiting for.
I just had the wonderful experience of helping my neighbors plant a new pear tree, which might be the best way I could have thought of to start this wonderful new season. There are few things I like doing better than planting trees — making the hole, getting your hands dirty, arranging the tree in the hole, helping root new life in place. You don’t get the chance to do it all that often, and you remember it for the rest of your life. Besides, the tree is there to remind you every day that you planted it! And trees tend to be grateful.
OK, now that you’ve read the paper and browsed the site, and had your cup of coffee, get outside and enjoy the sunshine, the birds, the new buds on the branches and the clear blue sky. Drink it all in and keep it inside you. It’s what you hoped for, a few weeks ago when all that white stuff was falling on us. Everything in its season, and that season is mercifully past.
Ahhh. Spring is here!
