Spring, sunlight and daylight savings

In two weeks, daylight savings time begins. More daylight! And at the end of that same week, the first day of spring is noted on the calendar. Of course, that will mean another six weeks of snow here in Colorado, but at least the days are getting longer.

Sunlight!! I am thankful to see more of it each day. Maybe my dead, brown yard will be green again. It seems impossible at this time of year. Twenty shades of brown, and bare dirt, too. Bare branches on all the trees. The calendar tells me spring is coming. The sunlight tells me not to give up hope - all will live again.

Hurry, spring!
