Each morning I see the sun crest over the mountains. The jagged peaks are still snow covered, but the snow is no longer light and fluffy. Instead, it looks smooth and shiny from being melted and refrozen.
No longer am I greeted by the soulful gray skies of winter. Now, the sky warms under the golden sun to a beautiful, rich blue... Even the clouds are more buoyant--plump and soft, no longer heavy and damp-looking...
The foothills are morphing from muddy, brown splotches into gently rolling mounds comprised of increasing amounts of green. Their inviting appearance compelling explorers of both the human and animal kind...
The trees outside my window are still sadly naked. But the little buds are swelling... Soon they will be bursting to unfurl their tender leaves. Before long, there will be dappled light streaming through the window instead of unbroken shafts of sunlight.
The forsythia is exclaiming it's happiness with a show of flashy yellow blooms. The bees and butterflies are proclaiming their joy as well. The birds chirp cheerfully as they greet their little friends. It's a happy and friendly time of year...
It's a truly beautiful time. Days full of growth and rebirth and hopeful promises. Springtime! Ahhhhh, spring...
A-A-A-Achoo!
Oh, yes... and let's not forget the pollen... the swirling, infiltrating, scourge of spring... Isn't it tragic that the beginning of allergy season coincides with this beautiful time of year... yippee, spring... I can hardly wait...
