Green

Today I woke up and looked out the window. I was immediately startled by what I saw. Although many trees have been blooming in whites and purples, and grass and a lot of plants on the ground have been growing, the big, old trees that surround our house have remained rather impassive to the coming of spring. But today when I look out our upper story windows I see a widespread blush of bright, new green. Now it really doesn't feel like winter anymore.
