Drought's Over!

OK, I'm over it now. If I wanted to live in Oregon I'd be walking on Canon Beach in the rain in the morning. It does create a little excitement instead of foreboding on how much hay is going to cost, is there going to be enough hay, etc.

I'm easily amused by the whims of spring. The grass is so green it hurts your eyes and that's on a socked in gray day. Imagine what it will be like when the sun comes out. The white water rafters and kayakers are licking their lips in anticipation. The fly fisher persons can't wait for the water to go down. I'm just relishing it not being dark and cold, but being light until 10pm and playing outside until then. I always have a to do and to go list this time of year, but most of it doesn't get done. That's OK, to me it's the thought that counts.

I'm also happy that I don't live next to a river right now. That would just ruin my whole spring. All that snow still up there in the mountains and all that record rain this week. Haven't had a good flood for 10 years. I'm happy to be out of a drought cycle nevertheless.

I think that when the time comes I'll have put on my headstone, "Spring always comes".
