The sun was shining in a brilliant blue sky streaked with just a few high clouds this morning when I took the dog out. Cherry blossoms have subsided to pink crab apple and red bud, and the tulips are in full bloom. I even saw azaleas and lilacs that were close to flowering. The air was cool, but the sun was warm, and the birds were going nuts. It was impossible not to feel happy and even a bit hopeful.
Just then we ran into a neighbor and her dog. "This is the day!" she hailed me.
"What day?" I asked. "The day the Lord made?"
We laughed, because it was true, but we both knew it wasn't what she meant.
"This is the day that turns the corner from winter to spring," she told me. "I don't know... I just feel it in the air."
I had to agree.

Another great title! (I'm finding that a good title is very satisfying, but I have yet to achieve your greatness.)
