Spring in the Ozarks

I just love spring. Here in the Ozarks today is especially glorious. We've had a few days of rain that washes everything clean. Then, within the last few hours, the clouds have broken up, the cool breeze has increased and I want nothing more than to get out my hammock and sleep outside. The fresh air, the peace and country livin' out here is so nice. I appreciate it more every day. I have such a tendency to get so bogged down with work and church and home that I have forget to just slow down and enjoy life. Burnout has come knocking often in the last few years. I praise God for the divine fire extinguisher of beautiful weather and a slower pace.
