When did everything turn so green? A few weeks ago, we wondered if it was safe to turn the heat off yet. Now today, I walk the mowed perimeter of a familiar field, and the grass filling the center is almost waist high now. Dandelions are poking defiant yellow heads up. Swallows dip and swoop overhead. A startled chipmunk dives into the brush as I approach. The air is pleasantly humid, just enough that I remember how hard it is to breathe winter air.
Spring is hard to trust, but I think I can finally say the thaw has come.
Spring is SO hard to trust. That's exactly the truth.
