Every year when spring breaks through the edge of winter I watch for the signs of her with childlike anticipation. The first hints are subtle little tints of color, baby buds born and on the way to bursting. Of all the many shades of spring my favorite are the myriad spring greens. There is something about those colors of spring that hint at the future emerging and the rebirth of our earth. And then the hint becomes the joy of a whole new season.
