the greening

If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft,and from thy slender storeTwo loaves alone to thee are left,Sell one, and with the dole Buy Hyacinths to feed thy Soul
—Sadi

How fortunate we are! Today we can feed our souls without relinquishing even a crumb of bread. Spring has waved her wand here there and everywhere, greening the earth. And the hyacinths still are hanging on, thanks to the delicious cool and the delicious rain.

I had to drive something down to the library today (no way I could walk with my current stomach situation), and I was amazed at how much the trees have leafed out in just a few days! It's gorgeous!
