The temperatures stretch and dip, sliding up and down the thermometer. The children drop their jackets on the playground even if there's a chill in the air. We pretend it's warm even when it's not. The flowers play along with our charade. The rabbits hop into the scene after dinner, nibbling the fresh green grass.
Soon the lawnmowers will whine on Saturdays and the plowed fields will be striped with new growth. One day we'll glance up and see the trees veiled in green. It has taken months to get to this moment, but the mystery of April is that it all seems to have happened overnight — a sepia landscape transformed with Technicolor hues.
No wonder Christians celebrate Easter in the spring. It's a season of miracles, inside and out.
