april showers means it’s not snowing.

As I’m proofreading this for misteaks, it’s currently 4:59 am. (Yes, it was on purpose. 😉)

Hello Spring! Oh, how I have missed thee! Winter has been a whiny little brat this season, dumping its remnants to be shoveled. But that’s for another day.

Spring also means it’s baseball season….for the life of me, I cannot figure out how they have lush, green grass in Minnesota on Opening Day, but yet I can’t figure out how many bags of mulch I need for the backyard.

Another joy of Spring is “Sunday Afternoon Drive” Sunday – my parents used to love taking Sunday drives. To honor them, I take one Sunday (hopefully in April, weather and schedule permitting) where I get in the car, and I have no set destination. Just some good jazz and the highway…..and yes, you may have heard that I like to drive….

And let’s be honest – is there any better feeling than that first smell of Spring in the air, combined with the warmth of the sunshine on a perfectly sunny 75° afternoon? This beats the shit out of slush, windburn from skiing and/or windchill and heart attack snow……but thumbs up to you who love this season anyway. ❤️

I’m optimistic for a positive “social tidal wave” to start this Spring…..maybe even a modern-day “Summer of Love” could be on the horizon in the next couple of years….as we go through these trying times, I’m thankful that we can learn directly from our elders, and hopefully continue to find common ground with one another.

Two words – EARTH DAY!!

Wishing all of my friends a GLORIOUS SPRING!

(P.S. Dear Winter – please feel free to extract my foot from your ass on the way out. 😎)
