So That is why They Call it Spring

Driving back home today after dropping off Kabir to school I was surprised by how different the landscape was looking, suddenly. The gloomy, barren look of the tress was replaced by an almost green haze of the tiniest of tiny leaves, the cherry blossom trees had very visible pink blossoms, and the grass- wow what a green! Seriously, till early this week everything still said- WINTER, and now all this life seemed to be literally "springing" out of everything. A couple of good rain showers, some warm weather and lo behold we are in Spring. The change is like the name, sudden, swift and taking you aback. It is almost as if nature was there, standing at high alert behind the bark of the tress, under the dead grass in the ground and at the edge of the branches, and just as it saw the first sign of change from the weather Gods- it jumped, or rather sprang out and just put forth its bounty. So here is looking forward to a beautiful spring full of balmy days and lots of fun outdoors! Enjoy the season.
