The good life. Always.

The weather. It's having a good affect on me. For 10 days now, temperatures 20 to 30 degrees above normal. Here in usually frigid Minnesota. Not only feels like an early spring. But summer, too. Forecast of 70 degrees today. And sunny. I've been raking leaves. Left over from fall. My pacysandra (a ground cover) is blooming.  And I walked eight miles yesterday.  Maybe 10 miles today.  A  bike ride, too. Of course. We Minnesotans know. A springtime blizzard can't be far away. But I don't mind. I'll make the best of it. Getting good exercise. Shoveling the driveway. And listening to the chirping birds. The good life. Always. --Jim Broede
