I know my last post was a “Part 1″ and there should be another part because it is logical, but I really didn’t feel like writing a “Part 2.” I realized that I didn’t have anything else to write about our trip to Texas other than it was fun and we met a weird guy at the grassy knoll in Dallas.  Speaking of grassy knoll, spring is here and for Colorado this means weird snow storms, hail storms, mixed with 80 degree weather and great nights to go out and enjoy the stars.  I really enjoy spring because it is a time where everything gets a new start (except for evergreens and the liking because they love to be green all year round).  The birds start chirping in the morning which can either be really pretty or incredibly annoying.  I remember when I was in high school and a raven would sit outside my window and just KAW KAW every single morning. It was the worst way to wake up.  I wish I had a cool story to tell you how I used a boomerang to hit it out of the tree and it fell only be to eaten by a dragon…but that didn’t happen…or maybe it did???

I love being able to go outside and enjoy creation by hiking mountains, running, changing my mandolin strings in the sun and sweating 10 pounds, playing catch, and doing back flips off a swing.  There is something about being outside that makes you feel good because I think people stay inside way too much.  Even if it is cold you can go outside; just bundle up! When it’s unbearably hot, bring a huge vat of water to pour on yourself.  So try to get outside sometime this week and make yourself a refreshing glass of black tea lemonade (also known as an Arnold Palmer) and get a Frisbee. Make every day a great day to be alive!!!
