Primavera—First things first



Thanks, Primavera!
Welcome Spring! She arrived Wednesday morning, very early; now we're two days in. In this household she brought her fever with her. Happens every year, and of course, it involves reading—for a couple of reasons.
                For many folks and cultures, Spring’s arrival—the vernal equinox—is the start of a new year—try peoples as diverse as the Persians and the Celts. Certainly the flowers in my urban garden will vote for that. Okay, flowers and Spring, I’ll go along and join you by doing what I always do with a new year. Make a resolution. That’s easy as well. I always make the same one. Read more!
A book, a friend, a dog-pal, the
sunshine. Life is good.

Many, in a little while,
a nap.
                Spring makes it easy. The best antidote for Spring’s fever is a trip to the front porch or the nearby park with a couple of books from the stack or maybe the magazine (ah, yes, another one) that came with the morning mail.
                I’ve been doing lots of that lately. Sometimes I take a picnic and spend the afternoon. And I’m not alone. Lots of folks manage to free up a little time for eating, reading, even napping on Primavera’s best afternoon. But, you don’t have to have a park or a front porch to fight Spring’s fever. In my neighborhood you might hit the Black Hole Coffee House or maybe even the Post Office if there’s a line.
Where ever you are, enjoy Spring and grab a good book.


Easy livin', good readin'


"It's ok, Daddy. I don't
mind waiting, I always bring
a book to the Post Office.







Saturday morning at
the Black Hole fun.

I enjoyed those photos of people reading. Can't see the grass here yet. But hope exists. Passover and Easter are on the horizon w temps in the 40s...but lots of sun!

Spring is still on the shy side here in the middle Mid-west. A new winter storm is predicted for the weekend, but hope SPRINGS eternal. Sun and moderating temperatures are promised next week. Maybe warmer weather will arrive and save our bedraggled jounquils. Love all your readers, the coffee shop and the PO the best!
