Welcome back.....

I have to admit, the unseasonably warm weather created quite the welcome back to the cabin.  It's a little hard for me to believe, but it's been just over a month since I was last here.  The snow is now gone, I've missed a majority of the muddy season and things are beginning to turn green.

Easing open the front door, I still feel as though I'm stepping back in time.  No phone, no internet and no television.  I have to be honest, I've missed, not having the opportunity for the distraction.  A few pieces of firewood remain, chopped and ready to warm the cabin from the cool evening and brisk morning.

For now, I'll enjoy the sunshine in my shirt sleeves on the deck, a folding chair, a cold beer and a view of the lake in the distance.  While I'm already beginning to write about refreshing summer brews as the temps push the 90 degree mark in the valley, I'll enjoy the 20 degree difference with one of my last bottles of Odell, Mountain Standard a more than suitable Black IPA for spring.

With lots of work ahead, I'm reminded of all the work that's been accomplished here.  The change and transformation that has taken place.  Just like the cabin, I too have experienced transformation and just like the sunshine now on the deck, I have a new season in my life to look forward to.

Cheers
