Have you been outside for lunch today?

It’s a beautiful afternoon, far too nice to spend the rest of the day in the office, but here I sit.

What a change from just a few days ago, when it was chilly, windy and snowy.

We’ve all heard the saying about Indiana’s weather (probably more times than we care to remember): If you don’t like it, just wait a minute and it will change.

 That’s how it seemed Saturday.

We went from a gray, dreary morning with lots of snow falling and blowing around to a wonderful, sunny afternoon. Shoveling the drive of its 11 inches of snow didn’t seem so bad. Well, maybe that’s a stretch. My shoulder muscles still smart.

 But today? What a gorgeous afternoon. It makes me even more ready for next week — spring break with our girls. Seymour and Crothersville schools are on break next week, and Brownstown and Medora are off follow week. We’ll likely do something over break, but any real long trip is out this spring, partly because of the price of gas.

 Is that having a similar impact on you and your family?

 Back to the weather, though. This beautiful afternoon also rekindles those feelings for baseball that I often think were lost forever with the 1994 strike. I know; I need to get over it. But every time I try to get ofver it, something else happens. The Clemens spectable is the latest example.

But what a day. Before long, mushrooms will be popping up from the ground. Another wonderful part of spring in Indiana.
