My front lawn is full of tiny would-be trees and wild violets. Each year the violets become more numerous, and I, for one, look forward to the day that they reign supreme.
I experienced a moment of joy this morning when, while I was filling a glass at the kitchen sink, a flash of colour out the window caught my eye. Cardinal in the blooming lilac tree! My heart, it swelled.
