Spring, summer, fall and winter-each season has its purpose and time. Admittedly, in Texas the marking of one overlaps the other, is indistinguishable, and more often than not, all felt in a single day. Spring bursts with new life, renewed growth, and joyful color to wash away the cold greys of the previous three months. Summer emboldens the water wise and drought tolerant plantings to dance with beauty. Fall prepares for what’s to come; seeds drop, growth slows, preservation of oneself begins for the chill ahead. Winter tests patience, endurance and faith as chilling winds envelope everything around us. That’s when it is especially important to remember our worth and purpose. We don’t cease to be who we are when our seasons change; we grow, we learn, we persevere, and then bloom again in our spring. We thank you for helping us honor/celebrate the closing of one season in Vidal’s life and encouraging him onto the next.
