Spring Just around the Corner

Just before Christmas one of my older brothers passed away. I did not like him, but I loved him. Another of my brothers has been very ill. His condition has been dicey. Today is his birthday and I called him and he told me that for a long time he was going to bed not planning anything for the next day. Now he is planning his next day. Crocus is a rugged flower. It is the first to bloom here in the spring.

Maybe, just maybe I have been anxious to see Spring begin because I was thinking it might not begin. Please just enjoy this picture.
