Hope

It's very subtle, but if you can be optimistic and observant, even after this last snow (just a couple of inches), the buds on the maple trees are swelling, there is a faint twinge of red.  Spring will come sometime. Easier to see in LARGE.

"A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day." -
Anna Mary Robertson Moses (AKA Grandma Moses)
