Seasons of the year and of life

Commentary

The grass gets greener every day. Asparagus sprouts shoot out of the ground only to be nipped by a frosty morning. The hyacinths have been blooming for weeks now as have the narcissus. The tulips are just getting started as I pen this column. Morel mushrooms are peeking out of the soil in some areas.

Despite the roller coaster of temperatures and Mother Nature’s last-ditch effort to keep winter alive with one last hard freeze, spring is most certainly gaining ground.
