Wondering About the Equinox
Dear Folks, Happy Midweek! Yes, it is still cold, though the calendar says Spring has arrived. Officially, the astronomical first day of Spring happens at the Equinox.

The Sun Has Come Out
The Sun has come out this morning, and what a difference it makes on the human psyche. On me. Since returning home on Sunday from our recent camping adventure on Jekyll Island, we faced a Monday and a Tuesday of clouds, cold and rain. The gloominess of clouds can poorly affect my mood. Yet, IContinue reading “The Sun Has Come Out”
