It has been said you can't have Easter without Lent. Likewise, you can't have Spring without Winter. I prefer to reverse the logic and say you can't have Lent without Easter, and you can't have Winter without Spring. Such an existence, afterall, would be devoid of hope.
Outside, the evidence points to Spring's arrival: the snow is gone; the ground is firming; some of the trees are setting buds; there have been Robins hopscotching from post to post in the vineyard; and geese, ducks and seagulls are migrating in full echelon. Just moments ago, a flock of white and black gulls numbering near one hundred crossed overhead in J-formation.
And so I sit convinced that Spring, the greatest tease in nature, has called for the end of winter. God bless her.
