Mardi Gras was this week and that means only six weeks until Easter. The calendar promises that Spring will officially arrive in four weeks. In two weeks, we spring our clocks forward, adding more sunlight to the end of our days. Today, pitchers and catchers report for the start of Spring training. Despite these very promising signs of Spring, this morning dawned a cold 13 degrees. It's supposed to drop below 0 tonight. We’ve had snow on the ground for more than a month and one of the coldest Februarys in New Jersey history. On a day like today, it’s rather hard to believe Spring will ever arrive.
Thank goodness for the amaryllis, which is faithfully seeking the sun and growing taller each day. The promise of a bloom looms large.
