Oh My!!
This is absolutely one of my favorite times of the year!! The green mist of spring has arrived... Hooray!
The landscape has been brownish gray for months. Depressing. Living in a climate with so many deciduous trees and bushes means that when things de-leaf in the fall, it's a really dramatic difference - much more so than where I grew up!
When spring finally arrives, first we get snowdrops and crocus, then daffodils, then flowering trees...and finally...
a creeping green mist appears high in the trees on the very tips of the branches.
Baby leaves!!
They're here!! I wanna do a happy dance!
It's such a magical transformation! And once it starts it goes so quickly. It's almost as if you could watch the leaves grow if you stood still for a few minutes. After a day or two, the mist turns into miniature leaves then, in what seems like a just a breath, the trees are covered in full-sized leaves the color of lime sherbert. It's even better that it always happens right around my birthday. What a fabulous present!
Oh glorious spring! Such a time of hope and freshness and new beginnings!!
