Magnanimity
As spring comes we become more aware of the magnanimity of nature, a sort of elemental big-heartedness and inclusive impartiality that is a reflection of the character of God. Spring sunshine will not fall on beautiful graceful birch trees alone, but upon the less lovable scrub pine, alders, and willows, too. April showers will not pick and choose, playing favorites with the daffodils and crocuses, and shunning objectionable dandelions and lowly violets, blessing the arbutus and avoiding the bloodroot and wild strawberry. The great sun will warm the acres of saint and sinner alike. Warm rains will beat with equal benefit upon the gardens of the grateful and the grumbling.

Definitely an early spring.
Today a day of gentle rain and bejeweled buds.
The precipitation is good for the gardens and the fields
(and good for those of us who have indoor work to accomplish).
