I will admit that sometimes I get a little tired of the early spring rain showers. When the calendar flips over to March, I anxiously await the kind of blue sky days that we had on Thursday. The little break in the rain perks up my spirits and gets me ready to tackle more rainy days. Thanks Mother Nature for giving us a peek of what’s to come in just a few more weeks (or months).
