The tug of spring

It seems beyond obvious to say that the arrival of spring is a welcome event. It happens every year after the snow melts; after five decades of watching this you might think the thrill would wear off. No, no, no! It's quite the opposite - it becomes more thrilling. The push of the earth to grow again makes me more giddy with each passing year. Just now, every living plant life in Toronto has begun the thrust to fruition. I'm thrilled.
