A while back, I posted about the first snow of the year. I was excited about it, and took pictures of the tree outside my apartment.
Remember these?
Little did I know that this first snowfall was nothing in comparison to what was in store for me throughout the remainder of winter. There were mornings where the snow on the sidewalk would come up to my calf. There were also days where I would have trouble walking to school because the snow would be blowing in my face and impairing my vision. I survived the worst of it, though, and so did the tree. We are both celebrating the arrival of the warmer weather by blossoming a little.
I can now see why people appreciate the changing of the seasons. It is so exciting to walk around and see things bloom after a long, cold, hiatus. I appreciate the beauty in these things so much more than I ever did before.
I even appreciate the beauty in my house keys. It’s so much easier to open the door when my fingers are not numb and frozen. Spring just makes everything (even the mundane) so much better!
