Spring takes a short break

As it happens most every year, a cold snap has interrupted the warming weather of Spring. It was preceded by some pretty violent thunderstorms that blew through our neighborhood Wednesday evening. We even had a little bit off hail that added quite a tattoo to the sound of the driven rain on the metal roof of our home. No frost has formed yet, but its supposed to get even a bit colder this Good Friday evening. It will warm up again after Easter, and allow us to enjoy the outdoors in shorts and t-shirts again.

We enjoyed a visit from some friends yesterday afternoon. They live in Cincinnati, and were taking a short vacation to Asheville, NC, and decided to stop in to say hi on their way south. I met them over twenty years ago on a visit to Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, when I covered the SR-71 engine program as a field rep. We remained friends and stayed in touch, despite the distances.

We are looking forward to visits from other good friends this month as well.
