Thinking Spring

Hello,

 

With the snow melting and the warmer temperatures, it is easy to think about spring. Now if I had a seed catalog… There is still quite a bit of snow around here even in places where it was not shoveled into heaps. I guess this is considered a slow melt so the rivers are not threatened. Not all places on the sidewalk are clear, but that is ok. Sometimes when there is too much water or mud the street is still a good place to walk.

 

My coat was too warm by the time I finished my walk. It seemed like a light weight jacket, but I almost envied the workers I saw with just short sleeve shirts as they were putting on some siding.

 

The clean car took me to the store, but all puddles were avoided if possible or at least passed through at the slowest possible speed to keep the muck off the car. It still looks good.

 

Leroy did not ride his bike today because he is concerned about ice on the street in the morning. As he explained, “Ice is off to the edge and that is where I ride.”

 

He does not want to fall down!

 

Via Zoom, I visited with a student of architecture at Iowa State. As “a give back to the community” he wants to put a little free library in our neighborhood. I am excited about this and hoping it will be in our front yard.

 

The Dairy Queen just three doors away has opened for the season. Spring is coming.
