Happy Spring!

It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart. —Rilke

Happy first day of spring! Although it’s still fairly chilly in DC, warmer temperatures and peak cherry blossoms are on the horizon.

s we leave the heaviness of winter’s hibernation, I like to review its lessons, highlights, and challenges. Next, I pen a spring wish list into Year of Tranquility and have 35 ideas listed below.
