False Starts: The Art of Spring in Montreal

Montreal is coming alive once again. Just last week it was false starts and chilly reminders to appreciate the moment. It’s how I like to describe early spring here, when it’s unruly, but today it has truly arrived. I even saw a young red tulip. Chalk drawings of rainbows and a puppy. People attempting their first picnics. People on benches in front of cafés. And, this morning, fresh green leaves unfurling from the tree near my window. How lucky are we to take these moments in and absorb?
