light green artists find hard
to duplicate. Lawns come
back to life. The earth
warms. The sky boils. The
wind howls.
Seeing Texas in the spring
is like seeing New England
in the fall. We experience the
colors and our lives are en-
riched. Texas is the birth-
sense of freedom that exists
in Texas. The skies open up
and seem larger. Texas has
more sky than most places,
anyway.
The 24-hour celestial pa-
rade is an event not to be
missed in the spring. We
awaken to a dawn dressed up
in sunrise pink. Later the
golden sun illumines the
clouds, which become active
in mid afternoon and float
around and bump each other.
At sundown the sky is
streaked with reds and or-
anges. And darkness brings
its own special magic.
It’s fun to go outside at
night, lie on a pallet and look
at the stars.
If you’re lucky you'll see
one fall,You might even see
a satellite streaking across the
heavens. Spring makes you
glad to be alive.
