SPRINGTIME

Spring is my favorite season. Flowers spring out of barkdust. You have no idea what is lurking beneath the soil. It also reminds me of new life. I like to be reminded of new life, since mine is getting less new every year. My son J.R. had an encouraging word, when he said, "Dad, you have a whole lot of deteoriating to do." He was referring to the next 20 years, of course. Time will eventually have it's way with my body, but for now I feel just like I did 40 years ago. That doesn't mean I have the endurance, just the feel good part. I want to feel good for a long time, so I can enjoy both my existing grandchildren and those yet unborn. I want them to enjoy the flowers with me. What is your favorite season?

It will be a long time before we get a sight of even a shoot of our daffodils. Every year I wish we had planted more.
Nice to see you have one already.
Enjoy,
