Spring is in the air

I don't think Spring has officially been declared, yet. Who has time to keep track of those things? I can tell you that in my area of the Rio Grande Valley, the air smells much sweeter. I hadn't realized it earlier, because I don't live near any citrus groves, that the citrus trees are blossoming. It hit me as I drove by the Shary-Shivers Estate on the way to UTPA. The area is surrounded by orange and grapefruit trees, so naturally you can't help smelling the sweet perfume given off by the blooms. Today is such a great day. If you have a chance, drive with your windows open and turn off the A/C a while. Enjoy one of the gifts that the RGV offers us if we take time to notice.
