Signs of Spring

It's hard to believe it's the beginning of my fifth (fifth!) Spring season in Provo. Not quite sure where the time has gone. I love the transitions between seasons -- especially Winter to Spring.

I spotted some buds on the tree just outside my bedroom this afternoon, and it definitely brought mixed emotions. 99% excited for Spring, but 1% dreading the two weeks that it's going to smell like rotten fish around here. I wish the smell matched how pretty the trees are in bloom! Trickery, I tell ya.
