Day 116, 4/26/2011

Today we had the first rain of the year. Usually I don’t like rain, but in this case it’s different because after so many dark cold months, the very instant you walk outside and smell the air and see how much cleaner everything looks, you realize that it is finally, really and truly, spring.

The quintessence of the season can be found in every new bud that appears at the end of a branch that has long been barren. Though there is still a good amount of stubborn persistent snow around, it won’t be there much longer, for we’ve had 3 days in a row with a high of over 50 degrees now.
