The last two times I visited Pennsylvania, I went to Valley Forge National Park. Both of those times were in the fall or winter and the park was a cold, barren place. It was easy to imagine the Revolutionary War soldiers freezing in their little makeshift cabins. As I shivered in my modern faux fur lined coat, I could see them wearing much less, getting infectious diseases and being found dead in their beds.
What a welcome relief it must have been for those survivors to see Valley Forge in the springtime. The park is covered in an emerald blanket of grass instead of the uninviting snow. The trees flower and grow leaves and the flowers bloom. Today I'm going there and what a nice day to do it! I hope the dogwoods are blooming now, but if they aren't it will still be fun to sit out and have a good time.
