“I’ve always found this a trying time of the year. The leaves not yet out, mud everywhere you go. Frosty mornings gone, sunny mornings not yet come. Give me blizzards and frozen pipes, but not this nothing time. Not this waiting room of the world.” – C.S. Lewis


What looked like buds on a tree outside my office window and a noticeably later sunset reminded me that outdoor adventures might actually be a possibility one of these days.
