Transitioning

I guess winter and spring are both warranting our attention. According to the calendar and the weather, it is still winter. But those signs of spring are nudging us.

Case in point – our forsythia holding up to a recent snowfall. This poor little blossom is carrying all the weight of winter, but still looks refreshingly spring like.

No doubt spring is coming. The forsythia as well as lilac buds, daffodils, and all the other signs of spring are showing up despite what the calendar says and what Mother Nature dishes out.

If this little blossom can manage to survive a winter storm, then we can get through winter too. And thanks to this beautiful specimen, we already know that spring is on its way.
