Awakening

Spring won't let me stay in this house any longer! I must get out and breathe the air deeply again.... Gustav Mahler

We are finally starting to get more warm days here, days filled with spring sunshine.  We are by no means through with winter weather, but it will not be the dominant pattern from here forward.

Yesterday the resident canine, Ms. Birdie, and I took a lengthy walk along the Great Miami River.  Two weeks ago with snow melt and heavy rains the river was above flood stage and filled with brown mud flowing down stream.  Yesterday it it was clear, bright and back in its channel.

It's time for a change in menu habits with more grilling and lighter fare.  The wines I drink will match that trend as well - the Chablis from last week is the first indication of things to come. 

Our walks will get longer also.
