The shift from winter to spring feels like an entirely different season, a period of anticipation. An early spring snow falls on budding flowers and we wonder if this is the last snowfall of the winter; we look for signs of new growth in every tree. Now is the time to finish the winter's chores, to make way for a new season.

Let us relish the in-between. Each cold day brings us closer to warmth, each rainfall helps along the flowers and the grass that nourishes the sheep in the fields. The osprey are starting to return. Even if we don't feel it quite yet, nature knows: spring is afoot.
