Mother Nature keeps us on our toes, never letting us get too complacent with
what we perceive to be the status quo. Her beauty and power surprise us as we tear off the trappings of winter, stow away our heavy coats and dream of hot days and cool grass between our toes.
Boom! And there she goes, turning our world upside down and laughing one more time at our foolishness….of course she’s in charge!
We’ve all seen the jokes out there about Springtime in Iowa featuring many a fun photo due to the daily variant in temperature. Dressing in layers we never know if we’ll be hot or cold, chilled to the bone with a 
dampness that seeps to the very soul, or basking in the sunshine from an unexpected “heat wave” reaching into the 50’s.
But I do love it! I always have. The winds of change flowing from so many directions bring an unexpected and always joy filled beauty…a promise of transformation that produces miracles in its wake. Hope for another day and the wonder that is
Spring.
