No matter how long I live in this valley, I will always getting a kick out if seeing the new leaves unfold each spring. The tightly-wound bud, the first hint of green which broadens into a broad line of freshness, and then the leaves, uncurling as if after a winter’s sleep, stretching, unfolding, reaching to the light.
