Forgettable spring

I'm terrible at keeping up with blogging, but I love reading the blogs of my friends. The insanely beautiful weather has held up, and now, with April among us, it feels like a true April, which might be my favorite month. I love the rain. I love the grass growing wildly, more vibrant than the day before. I love planting, being outside, even doing outside chores, before the nasty Kansas heat kicks in.

Aside from the beautiful weather, it has been a rough few weeks. With the random passing of a friend and colleague, life has me asking many questions, and non-stop. They invade my sleep, wake me up, and still leave me with no answers. I am a very pragmatic person, and demand to know the reasons behind things. It's hard to succumb to the truth that I am not running the show, and life is not black and white.

I look forward to getting away this summer as much as possible, and enjoying my friends and family scattered throughout the country. I just wish I had more money to visit more people. It's hard to narrow it down each summer.
