The Flowers Have Arrived

It's spring! Which means the rains are falling, the flowers are blooming, and the bright light of summer is calling to us from the end of the tunnel: come into the light, it's warm out here!

Warm days are ahead, and we know this because there are flowers everywhere! Spring weather can be iffy, but the flowers are a consistent beacon of hope. A guarantee that no matter how cold and drizzly today may be, summer is on the way to take its rightful place. 

(Full disclosure: I have a strong pro-summer bias.)
