Spring is Here

Weather in Missouri is famous for its’ variability. However, the four seasons come and go with unremitting regularity, year over year.

To me, winter and summer are necessary and comfortable extremes which sharpen one’s appreciation for the transformational events in spring and fall. These latter seasons are the ideal time for biking and backpacking in the Midwest. Summer is high time for boating and baseball.

When Kim and I arrived home from the East Coast last week, we found that spring was performing its’ magic on the ol’ homestead.

... enjoy the season, wherever you are!
