Last week I shared how the fruit trees in the back yard are starting to bud and blossom – the maple tree in front is also showing signs of spring growth.
Spring has always been my favorite season, in large part because of the explosion of bare branches into leaves and flowers.
Okay, having warmer weather, longer days, and my birthday doesn’t hurt spring’s odds in the grading.
All of these little helicopter-blade seed pods will soon go spinning off into the wind, looking for fertile ground to make new maple trees. Good luck with that! It’s nothing but sand, rock, mountains, tumbleweeds, lizards, and rattlesnakes for hundreds of miles in any direction. But I love the optimism!
