As the stark whites and grays of winter give way to a riot of colors, we are reminded of hope and new beginnings.

The sun chases away the cold and summons the tender green. The air, perfumed and sweet, brings out the chirping melody of home.

A soft breeze now wakes the sleeping land, its whispers rejuvenating the slumbering trees.

The gentle flow of cherry blossoms acts like an invitation, so that we may once again admire the beauty of spring.
