Finally, it's happening. I've been watching and waiting, scrutinizing, wondering...
Intermittent sunshine intermixing with cold rain this month. Heavy fog this morning. And then - Sunshine. Tulip trees blooming, cherry blossoms, well, blossoming, daffodils shining their sunny yellow.
AND.
The pale pale green of new life is starting to grow on the branches.
Trees so bare and dormant, now ready to burst. But they will make us wait... and in so doing offer a beautiful reward for patience - slow, slow, growing pale green turning ever darker, leaves pushing out their full furl over days and even weeks, eventually forming thick canopies offering cool shade.
But for now, the pale green.
My very favorite transition moment of the year.
Bethany Hoang brings me joy.

Mine, too. I love the days when the leaves are barely just popping out.
