Some thoughts on spring

Without the terribly cold, snowy, and windy Minnesota winters spring really is the greatest time of the year. It is the time when we can finally go back outside and enjoy the fresh air. Everything is better in the spring, it even smells better outside. After school everyone is free to spend the afternoon doing outside activities like golfing, grilling, and playing yard games. You know when its spring because the ground is soft and mushy, the roads are full of sand left from the melting snow, and the sun finally shines like it hasn't in what seems like an eternity. With spring also comes March Madness and the start of the baseball season. Every year I am pumped to watch the Twins begin their domination of the MLB, and it seems that every year they fall short of greatness.
