To the leaves, I say ‘Good Morning.’
by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 04/26/2026
I regard this past week as the start of the ‘magic weeks’. It’s that time in the year when the trees get serious about doing their greening thing. Last Sunday? No green. Nothing but Wintersticks – naked branches on trees and bushes. But, life was awakening within them. Driving home on Friday. Green is happening, and rather quickly. By next weekend the dramatic change from Winter’s emptiness to Summer’s fulgent leafing will be in full sway.
Above: Leaves return; week one.
It’s a time in the year that quickens the pace of life. I rise to an ever earlier Sun, and I enjoy an affirmative jump on the day – that is more challenging in Winter’s dark. In every sense there’s Spring in my step.
And the newly rustling leaves return my nod with their gentle, ‘Good Morning.’
And – as always –
