The spring season has officially been uncorked.  I'm not toasting with champagne, but with a steady flow of sunshine mingled with the seawater that let my kayak glide through its glistening waves yesterday. 

When I get to be out and about in nature without the layers of clothing required by minus degrees, it heralds a new season.  Not only was Sunday the first kayaking day, it was also the first biking day!  

Here's to wind in your hair, a chorus of birds and purple crocuses in the yard! Prost!
