Happy Spring

As of March 20th, it's spring!

I hope everyone had a beautiful Easter, filled with time, laughter, and love shared with family and friends. My grandchildren are all grown, but I remember the excitement of watching the littles color eggs and then scramble to find the hidden ones.

Between the excitement of Artemis II preparing to take us a little farther into the unknown, and the ever-looming tax deadline tomorrow, life feels like it’s balancing wonder and responsibility in equal measure.

Meanwhile, spring is quietly working its magic—flowers blooming, trees budding, birds singing, the world softening and waking up again. Of course, if you are a birder like me, this is the time to get outside to find and identify new birds migrating through the area. This is my favorite time of the year. It’s hard not to feel a sense of renewal in the air.

And since it’s National Letter Writing Month, maybe this is the perfect time to slow down and put pen to paper. Send a note, tell a story, or say something you’ve been meaning to say.

Here’s to new beginnings, small moments, and the stories waiting to be written.
