I love this time of year when winter has given up its icy grip and summer has not yet smothered me. Grass and plants grow so fast I think I could see it if I only had the patience to watch. The fig and walnut trees put out new leaves every day. Beans and peas and all the other little seeds, tired of laying in the dark beds, are stretching out their arms toward the sun. By next week, the spinach and lettuce will be ready to be turned into salads of succulent baby greens.
By the end of this week, the kids should be finished with their school work. They can already taste the freedom, though the last few pages of math and science hold them down.
I know how they feel!
