Rows

There are many signs that Spring is right around the corner.  The Phillies' pitchers & catchers have started "Spring Training" down in Clearwater, FL; the Walmart has Bathing Suits out on the merchandise racks; and the snow is finally melting.  This has been a rough Winter here in South Jersey.  Several big snowfalls coupled with extremely long cold-snaps have left us buried in mountains of white.  The earth is just starting to show itself again.

In just a months this field will be filled with grass for making hay.  Then shortly afterwards either Corn or Soybeans will turn this land into a sea of green.  Underneath the frozen blanket lay great potential of growth.  We all have seasons of cold, chilling fruitlessness.  Those days seem dark and never ending, yet they don't last forever.  There is a warm breeze moving across the furrows and the sun is getting higher in the sky.  Soon it will be time for sewing and reaping.
