On Saturday I set out to clean up my gardens for spring. Yes, it was still February, but it was such a beautiful sunny day! I started in my front yard and pulled out all of the winter detritus. And you know what I found? Hyacinths and tulips poking an inch above the ground.
Proof:
What a fabulous surprise! Out of the frozen earth, from underneath blankets of leaves and snow, life arrived. What beautiful symbolism, and a ray of hope. I'm awed every spring by this renewal of life. My faith in a higher purpose, in God, is reborn with the fresh life and soft green of spring.
Spring may not quite be here officially, but I took so much from seeing those small shoots of life.
