The signs of spring…
It occurs to me that the shift from winter to spring is similar to childbirth. Winter is the labor - too long and too painful. Spring is the birth - the joy, the hope and the possibilities. Here we are with only a handful of days over forty degrees and the days of sub-zero are [...]
