Nothing like the barest hint of possible spring to revive the spirit and unclog the head. My gosh you can walk along the bare sidewalks today and you don't need mittens and you don't need hats. And, hey, I was even looking at these spare, stalky things, and something came back to me...they used to have...leaves.
And will soon again.
