Below are two photos. One is of a beautiful spring flower.
and the other is of a snowbank. Actually, a couple of snowbanks - one is in the background.
How are these things related? Well I just took the photos a few minutes ago. I did not move my position to take them - I just turned around. The flower and the snowbank are about 25 feet from each other.
Welcome to the fifth season of the upper midwest. We call it "sprinter" - the wonderful combination of spring and winter that we enjoy each year around the first two weeks of April.
Sprinter is a reminder of what we celebrate during the Easter season and offers us the opportunity to sense that old life and new life are not mutually exclusive.
