SPRING has arrived in all her GLORY! The light is gorgeous; it falls on every little thing like a lovely gossamer drape. It's magical, soft, and suggestive. The quince is blooming, the tulips, the forsythia. The sugar snap peas are up two inches! The cardinals and osprey are singing praise, as am I. Winter didn't hold us too tight, but still it wrapped us in layers and early darkness. It gave way to rest for some. And we lost, to death, some dear ones in that season. It left holes in the fiber of our beings. We held the grief close to our hearts and one another. And now in the holes we wish for flowers and sweet memories. xo
