Spring Break

This Spring Break, Ellen and I spent four days in Kansas visiting my family.  I'm sure this type of travel does not meet the "glamor test" for the girls when comparing Spring Break stories among their peers.  There are sacrifices that come with being distant from extended family.  But this visit (with it's wonderful 80 degree sunny weather) was much better than last year's complete week of rain in Hilton Head Island.

Four days of being gone were immediately apparent from the pink and white blooms on the three apple trees planted last fall.  Outside our family room window, it is a sea of green as Spring takes no break from her early painting.  A short shower last night, nourished the foliage and replenished the water fountain.  Today will be a day to enjoy the respite from Spring Break travel and relax before the celebration of Easter.

Funny -  taking a break - from Spring Break.
