A taste of Spring...

Well we FINALLY snapped out of that cold stretch here in the heartland this week. We got our first taste of Spring. Was in the mid 60's earlier this week... woo hoo!! With out a doubt this is my favorite time of the year. In a couple of weeks this area will explode into lush green vegetation. Cabin fever from the long winter will subside. The various birds will be chirping especially the cardinals and blue jays. It really is a season of rebirth and rejuvenation. I am getting excited just thinking about it. Obviously it is the joyous season of Easter, but even the little day to day things just make life so vibrant. The feeling in my hands from hitting the first golf ball of the season. (Even if I do shank it into the woods!!) Taking my daughter to the park to work on her soccer skills. Having the option to ride my bike to work. Putting the windows down in my car, feeling the wind and warmth of the sun, and cranking up the stereo! Taking our new chocolate lab puppy (Mia) for her first swim. Talking about baseball with my family and friends and the anticipation of opening day at beautiful Busch Stadium. Yep, it is just a glorious time to be alive.

Wishing all a great week-end!
