Green and White

This morning as I was washing lettuce for dinner tonight I got to thinking about a trip I took a few weeks ago.  It was a cold, rainy day, much like today.  My friends and I met at Starbucks, got our coffee and headed off to our meetings for the weekend.  Everything was gray, wet and dreary.  It rained and rained.  We had a nice time at our meetings. 

On our way home the next day the sun was out.  A change was very evident.  It seemed overnight the earth had transformed into a sea of green and white.  White blossoms filled the trees.  Green was covering the ground.  Life was visible. 

It is amazing how a rain can cause change.  The washing can be good.  The colorful, vibrance after the rain a joy.
