I have a hazy school memory from sixty years ago. The teacher used a strategy that involved students standing around the room shoulder to shoulder. The teacher posed a question to each student, in turn, about something we had studied. If they answered correctly, they stayed in their place. An incorrect answer resulted in a trek to the end of the line to wait for another turn.

Nature had provided a remnant blanket of last year’s plants, protection from winter’s frost and snow. Looking closer, I saw that beneath the tangle of dried roots, stems, and leaves, down close to the soil, small patches of green sprouts were enduring. For an instant, I yearned for the promise of spring.
