Except it happens every year, just when you least expect it!
Just when you think that you can't stand one more freezing cold, dreary day. Just when you think that you can not stand more drop of snow, scrapping the car windows, shoveling one more shovel full of snow, one more day of layering, bundling up and putting on ugly winter boots and hats which scrunch the hairdo, scarfs and gloves . Just when you decide that bears have it right and it is smart to hibernate the whole winter.
Just then, out of nowhere, there is a sunny bright day; almost 60 degrees. And they appear.
After months of rock solid frozen ground, their vast energy has pushed up themselves up to over three inches and they won't be stopped. Everything wasn't dead, just storing up energy to surprise us when we need it the most.
Nothing yesterday. But today I'm seeing signs everywhere. The crocus are up, the snowdrops are ready to flower, the daffodils are sprouting fine strong leaves, the hyacinths are peeking up through cold hard brown dirt. And everything is changing.
It was always still there. Just hiding for a while.
We've turned the corner I think. And the best is yet to come. We see the promise
