"HERE COMES PETER COTTONTAIL..."


     I was in the store buying groceries, and there he was in all his glory: Peter Cottontail.
     At first, I thought it was odd but then realized Easter isn't that very far away. I know this isn't officially the Easter season yet, but please allow me the liberty of digression.
     Ever since I was a child, I loved Easter. Now that I'm older it's about the true meaning but I still love it all: the bright pastel colors, the sign that Spring is just around the next corner, and the altogether hope that plants and flowers that were once dead and barren will soon become lush and beautiful.
     And all it took was Mr. Cottontail making his first public appearance of the season to remind me the best really is yet to come.
