Each seed we tuck into the dirt gets a whispered hopeful wish that it germinates, roots, and grows. Each bulb we planted last fall gets sought out and celebrated when it pokes through the thawing dirt. And each time we step outside to the songs of chirping birds, we hear the hope they have brought back from their winter sojourn and into the warm months ahead.
