spring babies

for some reason, i’m noticing babies this spring. maybe because spring came so late and it’s jarring see so much brand new growth on trees and branches this late in may. in any case, Iim enamored. but like almost any mother talking about her kids, i don’t have anything all that interesting to say about them. i just want to point these baby leaves out to all my friends and say, “can you believe how cute??”
