"It's Spring!"

“Mommy, Mommy! It’s spring! Oh, Mommy come and look, it’s spring outside. There are little flowers, little yellow flowers out there. It’s spring…. I’m going to put on my skirt!” From her spot at the from window this week Aleah discovered our crocus popping up in our flower bed. I had to laugh and say, “Yeah. Did you notice the SNOW that fell last night on the grass next to the flowers?” I actually had to calendar for her when it will finally be warm enough to wear her cute little skort. But the sign was enough to compel hope: crocus do hold the promise of spring.
