Budding Blossoms

Have you ever noticed something change drastically, as if in an instant? Two days ago, as I was walking back to my apartment, I noticed that so many trees had suddenly blossomed (my allergies actually told me before my eyes did). I told my friend about my observation and he said that it had been at least a week since the blossoms began to appear. I don't know why it took me so long to notice this, but spring is certainly in the air--and on the trees.

This is a picture of the yard that is right next to my apartment. The owners don't really take care of it, and I have seen it as an eyesore for some time. To my surprise, yesterday when I passed by I noticed that there were several types of beautiful flowers that had sprung up all over their yard! The arrangement of the flowers seemed quite random, but I imagine at some point that someone had to plant them. I appreciate who ever did, because it cheered me up. Sometimes we do something nice or good and don't think much of the impact, but sooner or later, such efforts are bound to touch someone.
