I will turn their mourning into gladness and I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow. Jeremiah 31:13

Everywhere I look the world is coming alive. A wall of green nearly obscures the homes at the back of our property. Two days from now those houses will be invisible, the underbrush, celadon, will be in full leaf as if I alone live here. As if our one acre is a never-ending wood.
