Spring has arrived! The cherry and redbud trees have burst into bloom, the daffodils bobbed in the breeze and tiny, light green leaves are emerging from the hardwoods.

Spring is a funny old season. One day it rises to 75 degrees with abundant sunshine and the next, snow is falling and temps dip below freezing once more. It is sad to see the blooms fade but I have to say, I have learned by now that this season is usually a beautiful mix of weather and I don’t mind it.

I could do without the tornado watches but otherwise, I know the dip back into winter is short-lived and before too long, more flowers will bloom and the trees will be in full leaf and warm breezes will return.
