Greetings!

Spring! The promise of spring is especially welcome at this time of the year- the anticipation all the sweeter after our exposure to the harsh elements of winter.

"If we had no winter, spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes have the taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome."

The author, Anne Bradstreet, 1612-1672, wrote this after sailing across the ocean on a Puritan ship and landing on the coast of America. After enduring serious illnesses and the loss of her home, she continued to demonstrate her passion for life while raising eight children.
