Hale and hearty no matter where.

The windows are wide open. Because it feels like summer. Though it’s only the second day of spring. In the city of Carbonia on the island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean Sea. I have only another week in this summery paradise. Then it’s back to Minnesota. To the frozen lake on which I live. But I’ve missed the brunt of winter. Having been gone since early November. Not that I’m immune to winter. I could take it. But I’d keep the windows closed. And the furnace on. To tell the truth, winter in Minnesota ain’t all that bad. Blizzards. Sub-zero temperatures. Good exercise. Shoveling snow. Keeps one hale and hearty. But so does springtime in Sardinia. –Jim Broede
