Spring is...

Overwhelming – with tuning bikes and practicing baseball and cleaning windows and tangled kites and avoiding potholes and budding trees with allergies.

Winter coat, spring coat, winter coat, spring coat, no coat, winter coat, spring coat, no coat, spring coat, winter coat, spring coat, no coat, no coat, no coat.

Dripping icicles and drizzled trickles to plush puddles to gushing streams, forcing rivers, flooded causeways, stressed levees and engulfed...

Chasing bunnies, easing squirrels, recurring robins, flocking geese, visiting mice and happy cats.

Opened windows, ignited charcoal, magnified sunlight, falling rain, cancelled Twins games, walking-to the coffee shop, dropping-in on garage sales, visiting open houses and graduating seniors.

Marathons and 10k runs; rides for life and walks for health (and avoiding crossing Mpls via Minnehaha Parkway and it’s intermittent Saturday morning closures.)

Driving to the range, putting to the green, hacking out the ruff, chipping off the fair, holing-out the birdie.

And even just a week of an overwhelming Spring is better than a year of mediocre musings.
