'Tis the season of renewal; rebirth.

That Easter branch brings back memories of Denmark... that's what we used to do there, when I was a little kid. Easter was long before the trees leafed out there, but sometimes the branch would start shooting leaves in the warmth of the house, and we'd go on to turn it into a tree in the yard, later in spring. We decorated with eggs and tiny colorful decorative chickens you could buy at the toy store.

It's still early here... but nature is waking up.
