Visions of Spring

Last summer

After the DC area got hit with another massive snow storm, my mind turned to the upcoming spring and summer.  Despite what the groundhog says, spring is fast approaching.  Soon the crocus will bloom, then the daffodils and hyacinths, the garden will be planted, chicks will hatch, and the warmth will return.

It is hard to imagine how warm and pleasant it can be when one is shoveling feet of snow.  But I can clearly remember on the hottest days of summer trying to imagine a snowy, cold day.  For some, one season is all they need.  But I love the change.  Each season has a special set of challenges and circumstances that keep things interesting.  After all, I wonder if spring and summer would be so appreciated if we didn’t have snow days.
