Yesterday on the way home from work there was a fellow working all alone cleaning out a fence row that had been taken over by briars and vines from the previous years. Just last week, along the same stretch of road, a crew of three worked for several days repairing and replacing the fences around a two hundred acre plot. Farmers everywhere are plowing the fields preparing them for the planting season. First they plow in one direction and then another They want to make sure that the ground is ready in time to receive the seed of the spring planting. I won't be very long until they plant the fields and the crops will be peeking up, lifting their arms toward heaven in hopes of sunshine, nourishment and growth.
Spring is an awesome time.
It is perhaps the most exciting time of the year for almost everyone. The weather is not hot nor is it cold. Spring is a time of growth. The fall of the year lulls the vegetation into a deep sleep. The once healthy grasses that cover the land wither to a dull dry brown.
