While the weather is unusually hot, I have enjoyed opening the windows and letting the breeze blow through the house. These days have given me a lot of time to listen to music and edit my novel. The heat can do strange things to us. It can cause our minds to hallucinate and see or hear things that aren't there. It also has the power to make us happy. Heading out into the sun gets us closer to nature. The sun gives us a reason to gather after we bid goodbye to the harshness of winter. This is probably the most beautiful time of the year to live in the mountains--the redbuds are in bloom, their buds brilliant against the green of the trees and grass. Spring renews us, reawakens us to the possibilities of life. It also keeps life interesting by providing severe storms and severe allergies. My birthday comes at the end of spring, so maybe that's why it has always been so special to me.
