Signs of Spring

Raise your hand if you're against sprawl. Unruly, unchecked, unregulated growth. It's everywhere, it's stubborn, and it's in our face.

But at this time of year we are reminded of another type of sprawl, just as stubborn and in our face.

Bless its heart.

That would be the sprawl of Nature, awakening from its slumber to body slam us with its unruly, unchecked, unregulated beauty.

As this scene on Dumont Place in Morristown demonstrates, spring does its thing, and to my mind is even more marvelous where it is most incongruous.

The traffic signs and parking meters will remain, but these other signs of spring will vanish. So let's enjoy them now before summer enfolds us in its lush, lolling bosom.
