Today I saw two solid signs of spring approaching.  In the back of my yard there is a small stream.  Next to it, by the fence that marks the edge of the property, there are small white flowers that pop up every spring.  I'm not sure what they are called but they are consistently the first flowering plant to come to life every year.  They aren't flowering yet but they are most definitely growing.  The other sign is a spring training exhibition baseball game on TV.  This afternoon was spent very pleasantly watching the Mets white wash the Florida Marlins 9-0.  It's spring training so I put no importance on that win at all.  I'm just delighted to see it.  I love the start of spring training every year.  I love the feeling of promise that comes with the start of a season.  It seems like every team has a legitimate shot to win and you can take pure joy in just playing the game.  Gives me a warm fuzzy it does.
