Spring Has Arrived in the Ozarks

As the title for this post says, Spring is upon us. In Fayetteville, this means we are gifted with constant change. The day may start with cool temperatures and then warm up to a very nice 60-70 degrees. It may also mean rain and cooler temperatures. Regardless, I am vastly relieved that the cold temperatures are behind us. Now that I have said that, it'll probably drop back down into the 30's and 40's. Each year, as I get older and older, I have come to accept the fact that I truly do not value cold weather. In fact, I dislike it tremendously. Ironically, I do not hate the snow. I find it beautiful and I appreciate it, when it happens once or twice a year. Now that we are entering April, we will experience rain, mixed with beautiful, sunny days. I love Spring - trees turn green and flowers bloom. Also, the Fayetteville Farmer's Market will get going again soon. This is a wonderful Fayetteville tradition. Visit http://www.fayettevillefarmersmarket.org/ to learn more about this unique opportunity to experience local fruits and vegetables as well as art and music. This season is brief in this part of the country. Before we know it, summer will be upon us. I try to enjoy every bit of Spring in the Ozarks.
