Happy Spring

Spring is just around the corner. Hooray! We were somewhat fortunate this year in southwestern Wyoming in that winter was not as treacherous as last year. In fact, it was relatively mild which makes me concerned about the lack of water and drought. I don't know which is worse, lack of snow or driving in blizzard conditions. Of course, you never know around here, it could be snowing in June again. I hope that spring fills you with a sense of hope, renewal, and happiness.

Happy New Year!

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year. After spending the holidays in Tennessee and Charleston where it ranged from 45 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit and we were able to walk barefoot on the beach, it was a shock to the system to wake up to a balmy -2 degrees here in Wyoming. As I slid down the street and almost slid through several stop lights on my way to the store, I couldn't help but feel hopeful that good things are in store for the upcoming year. You might think I'm crazy, but the sun was shining and everything was a dazzling white from the snow storm, maybe my brain was frozen or something, but as my hands thawed I just kept thinking about the changes that are coming and as one happy, little tear froze to my cheek I couldn't help but smile.
