Wouldn’t it be great that once a year we as humans can start anew?
In the plant world it’s called spring. All of the deciduous trees, perennials, and grasses get to shed their aged and tired old “skin” to only sprout perfect leaves and foliage again. If you have a chance, take a walk around your yard or a park and really look at the new leaves that are about to unfold. They are unblemished with a pristine pattern of color that is unique to that species. It is nature at it’s finest.
Watching hostas, dogwoods, or the serviceberrys come to life in early April is inspiring. It’s truly a miracle.
I’m always amazed how much better one can feel when spring arrives. The days are warmer and longer as summer appears to be right around the corner. Even though I love all of the things that come with summer I can wait, so I can savior everyday of nature’s rebirth which we call spring!
