Something I Love About Spring

Each day you can see measurable differences.

Yesterday the leaves on the trees in our front yard didn't look like buds any more. They looked like leaves. In one week we won't be able to see through those trees.

Yesterday there were dark purplish splotches on the lilac shrubs. Today there are lilac-colored flowers.

Today the tulips look yellow. Within the next couple of days, they will actually BE yellow.

Saturday everyone wore their coats. Yesterday they were in sweaters. Soon (maybe today) there will just be shirt sleeves.

If I were clever or witty, there would be a great ending for this post.
