Seeds of Hope
The snow has pretty much worn out its welcome as far as I am concerned but I came upon something interesting today. In the photo below you can see a milkweed seed covered in snow. As cold & snowy as it is, this is a wonderful reminder that there will be small flocks of Monarch butterflies coming this summer. Sometimes hope comes in small, hidden packages.

A Few Thoughts About Baseball
Each year when the World Series puts baseball to bed, I think of it as a game that doesn’t quite go to sleep. Last night the Yankees won – for better or worse – and players and management from all teams will take some time off. For the losers there’s a bitter taste for a while but even for them this event signals vacation and healing.
For most baseball fans it’s a little different. The end of the World Series signals thoughts of “next year” and hope. Even the slow, steadied pace of this game without time limits speaks of hope. Certainly for Cubs fans baseball is a glowing ember that helps keep one warm through a cold winter.
To baseball fans everywhere – even Yankees fans – I wish you warmth and hope for the coming winter.
