Spring is Coming

Trail Wood#11.09 by Earl Plato

Nature writer, Ed Teale cheers us with his winter warm up.
“ How high the sun! How bright the sky! But how chill the wind! Under this sun, this sky, and this wind we enter the month of March, the month of another spring begins.
Behind us now receded the dead of winter. Ahead of us swells and surges closer the season of change. We seem standing with one foot in retreating winter, the other in advancing spring. Wherever we walk today we confront effects of the sun’s higher path across the sky. Already we sense the hidden rivers of sap flowing around us in the woods. Already we notice a difference in the calling of the birds."
