"Of course, hope is what spring is all about. that's why it's harder to come by some years. To be properly seduced by springtime requires a certain level of magical thinking, the belief that this year will be different, that the strawberries will be sweeter and the tomatoes staked, that the crops will grow lush and tall, that the rains will come and the sun will shine. A flower is simply hope made manifest; springtime is just the expression of our most optimistic natures."
