The First Sign of Spring...

The sun begins to break through the long, dreary days of winter. Colder temperatures give way to a breeze that just hints of warmer days. As those breezes begin to blow and blue fills up the sky, with the warming of the sunshine everything begins to respond. The trees begin to awaken as the sap pushes up toward the sun and unveils the fuzz that will begin the lush green of summer. The tulips push away the heavy layers of earth that wrapped them warmly through the winter. The forsythia begins the parade of bright yellow fluttering ruffles that adorn her long, willowy branches as the grass begins to shed it's brown for a deep hue of green. Spring envelopes the air with her warmth and the light that brings forth life!
