Noel always found this season to be the ripest: thoughts of change and potential circulated through her body. But what made this spring more anticipated than the last? Perhaps it was the knowledge that she was going to be moving back home at the end of the school year. Or perhaps it was the warming air or extra chatter at home or one of a million other things.

Greening buds, patches of mud, scattered puddles, a birth of color -- spring really was on its way. Noel __always__ found this season to be the ripest: knowing of the changes that would soon be thrust upon her made her feel a certain tie to the fruit trees that were just beginning to show their blossoms.
