Spring

For four months now, our front lawn has been covered in snow. Not an inch or two either.  For most of those winter months, there have been several feet of snow out front.

During March Break, we could see the snow start to disappear and Friday morning woke to see grass in places.  Not the entire yard, mind you, put in places.  A second look revealed vegetation.  I couldn't believe it!  Having not seen the sun for four months, how could these flowers be up within minutes of being free of the snow? 

But up they are.  I was awed.  What word could describe that?  Hope?  Faith?  Perseverance?  Resilience?    Strength?     Or simiply, SPRING!
