Vernal Wonders

For the first time this year, I noticed it was starting to feel warm in my apartment. Warmer than I find comfortable. The temperature on my thermostat had actually risen without the aid of my furnace. So I slid door to my balcony open a bit and was greeted by the wisps of the cool, moist, rain-drenched rain from outside. I sat in fron t of the door and continued playing my Playstation 2, allowing the air to wash over me and breathed in deep of its splendor. I dreamt of the wonderful time of year that is to come.

Spring is upon us. The season of renewal. The long Minnesota winter is over. It is a time of rejoicing.
