new desktop

It was time to choose a new desktop for the computer monitor.  For the past few months I've had a picture I took last February:

Instead, I found a picture to give me something to dream about.  Again, from my own files, I've put this up:

I will have my hands in the dirt.  I will uncover new sprouts from under piles of leaf mulch.  I will notice a tender bud on the Lenten Roses.  I will plant a new dogwood tree.  I will feel warm sun on my face. 

The day will come. And if I've learned anything from living in Atlanta, it will come sooner than I can believe.
