Can You Tell?

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.

Hal Borland

It’s been a long, hard winter of snow, ice and freezing cold, and most of us are ready for it to come to an end.  If what I saw today in my yard is any indication, the end may be in sight, at least in Houston, and I hope for you! 

I was surprised to see the first azalea blooms open to the sun

and the flowering pear full of blossoms, overnight it seems.

The redbud tree, which only a day or two ago was loaded with tight little buds,

is in full bloom giving the landscape a big dose of color.

The sharp edges of the leather holly are softened by buttery yellow,

and the very old jade tree I thought was lost is showing signs of life with little green leaves sprouting from its empty limbs.

Taking in each of these tiny miracles, I marvel at how nature stays on its own schedule no matter what interferes.  Can you tell that spring is near?

i so appreciate your visit and the comments you leave behind
