Spring?

Dare I consider that spring might have actually arrived? My plum and cherry trees have not yet bloomed, but there's a beautiful flowering 'something' out my bedroom window. The tulips and daffodils have finally opened. There are some lovely bushes lining the area between the yard and the pasture. They've got bright pink blossoms on them. At least they have blossoms until the horses find them. It seems that the horses like to eat these bushes every year, so I need to enjoy them while I can. We don't seem to need the heat every day anymore. There's more sunshine. The children want to go outside in short-sleeved shirts and shorts. But it is still only in the 50s, so I must tell them no. ;-)

Is it really happening?

See there is hope. There is promise of new life. And for that, I am thankful!
