Signs of Spring
I’ve been watching carefully for signs of the coming spring. Perhaps you have been too?
I collected these for you, in case your eyes are aching for some color and you’re tired of being cold.
Or even if you just enjoy the promise of it, knowing that it’s coming.
The trees are waking up, putting on their pale dresses and stretching in the sunshine.
Our eyes can get caught in the showers of petals, or in the shimmering, sunstreaked clouds.
But looking down is rewarding too. The earth is dark and moist. Grasses are singing. It’s a good time for tromping, in shirtsleeves if you can get away with it.
Sometimes you have to look closely. There among the decayed leaf litter …
are some lovely signs. Fortunately, they’re designed to catch the eye.
Do you feel the earth waking? Are you seeing signs of spring?
