During every winter there is a day I most dream of. The day when I turn on my radio or TV and hear a news reporter say, “The (insert name of major league baseball team) players are reporting for spring training today in (insert name of Florida city).” I then know it won’t be long before the winter wheat begins to green up, the day lily’s leaves begin to push their noises out of the cold soil, the crocuses will soon croak, and I can begin thinking about getting back into my cargo shorts and t-shirts. These are all signs of hope!
