Spring has finally come to Colorado. Last evening, Stasi and I took a lovely after-dinner walk through the neighborhood. The sun is setting later each day, and it was one of those wonderful evenings where the deer were out and browsing, a few crickets were beginning to wake up, and the hummingbirds were whizzing by busy with their spring work. A soft, warm breeze carried the aromas of earth and newly awakened foliage.

It was healing. 

Only fifteen minutes into the walk, we turned to each other and said, “This is so much better than screens. So much more restoring than technology.”

You see, winter stays long here in Colorado. We live at 7000 feet, and spring comes very late; April is one of our biggest snow months....
