About Spring Has Sprung
By late March the garden tells you spring is here before the calendar does. A crocus punches through ground that was frozen solid two weeks ago, a wren sets up a noisy claim on the back fence, and overnight everything smells like wet soil and possibility. Robins, which never really left, suddenly seem to be everywhere at once, pulling worms from the softening earth and scouting spots for a nest. The whole thing happens fast, and then one morning you look out and the trees have gone from bare to faintly, unmistakably green.
