I don't think my best friend believed me when I told him that baby trees are "the BEST thing EVER!" today. I don't understand why, I said it with conviction-- but fifteen enthusiastic head nods can probably only get you so far.
Really though:
It's SPRING. The grass is green, the flowers are blooming, and the birds are loud. Worms are finally mucking their way out of the ground again, and thunderstorms are making a comeback. T-shirts are permissable without a jacket, and people are starting up their barbeques-- music is playing, and porches are being used. The sun's up longer, and windows can be opened. The soil is thawing, branches are budding-- and new trees are growing. Everything's colourful again!
Baby trees are the heralds of spring.
They really are the BEST thing EVER!
Sequoia's that touch the clouds, ginkgo's with fish tail leaves, cherry trees or unattainable willow's on the front yard. Even a semi alive birch tree that makes a wonderful climbing tree.
ReplyDeleteIce cream trucks, baseball, backyard swings and the potential for sandals again. Spring may well be the BEST thing EVER.
In the meantime, Baby Trees are an excellent representation of all that the season is, and fifteen very convicted head nods were more than enough to convince me of that.
