I have Spring on my mind.
How about you? About this time of year, I start to get antsy to see all the budding flowers and trees, a lot more sunshine and definitely be able to spend a lot of time outside in the fresh air.
It is fun to just sit and think about what we are looking forward to most when Spring finally arrives. April showers bring May flowers, and Spring is the beginning of it all. The seams of nature are ready to burst with vivid colors and it is a time of renewable feelings that bounce from our hearts.
Excitement for spring seems to be wrapped up in our Easter bonnets and new clothes. No matter how close spring gets, even in all of our giddy excitement, known as spring fever, it can be easy to forget that the weather does not always lend itself to the sunny day styles that we have been eyeing. Spring can quickly turn into those chilly days, so keep a light jacket handy.
As we move closer and closer to Spring, we notice the sunshine on our shoulders; the temperatures begin to warm; the buds of potential glisten within the trees and the tiny appearance of spring flowers pop all around us. Spring it a time of Hope and one of the most exciting times of the year.
Are you as excited for Spring as I am?

Mary Ann grew up in Brownwood, a small central Texas town. Her early love of the violin, which developed at the age of ten, and subsequent mastery of the instrument opened many opportunities for her. She was mentored and prepared for her musical journey from the director of the Abilene Philharmonic Orchestra. She auditioned and was selected to join the Blue Jeans Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra was underwritten by Levi Straus Blue Jean Manufacturer and the City of Estes Park, Colorado. Two musical students from each state were selected and concerts were given each Sunday afternoon in a natural amphitheater in the Rocky Mountains. Mary Ann remains an alumnus of this group which is an active symphony now making their home in Breckenridge, Colorado. Mary Ann also played in the Las Vegas, Wichita Falls and Austin Symphony Orchestras.
She had a busy career beginning at the Governor’s Office in Colorado. Then fourteen years at a Texas Trade Association. She was Manager of a Computer Magazine Publishing Company. The last few years of working were spent in sales, which led to her home office, as her husband’s health declined.
Since her husband’s death, Mary Ann has written several books, including a Book of Poetry, Children’s Short Stories, Reflections, The Pioneers and her just published book, Journey of My Heart, A Memoir.
During the last quarter of 2012 Mary Ann was engaged with speaking engagements and book signings in several states, as well as radio interviews from New York City, Dallas, Denver, Portland and Seattle, Washington.

Oh, Mary Ann, you have no idea! As the snow falls steadily this afternoon, I keep thinking about my tulips and hundreds of daffodils waiting underground for a warm, sunny spring day in which to reveal themselves!
