• {If we had no winter.. spring would not be so pleasant}

   
  

  “I think the day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring.”
  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  “But. Still. There are the smells. Deep, earthy, living smells of promising spring.
  Who cares that the smell comes from the thawing earth and thickening mud!
  As though the world was taken out of the freezer like a giant chunk of frozen meat…
  and plopped on the kitchen counter to thaw,
  life slowly and nervously begins to soften, relax, and seep out.

  Thank heaven for the smell of muddy spring. Hope, it seems, can come in many forms–even smelly ones.”

  
  
   
  
  

  “If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall.”
