Seems I always go on and on about this time of year (who cannot get delirious over spring); the recent abundant moisture has everything greening up almost as you watch. Returning to the north country from a quick trip to Minneapolis one gets to watch spring unfurl a second time. Magically the tips of tree branch tinge with chartreuse green and color the previously stark woods into a watercolor by Monet. 

If you driving north (and we hope you will be soon); open the windows: slow down, listen and enjoy the view.
