What Do You Do All Spring?

When I described what we do all winter someone looked at the weather and asked, what do you do all spring? So far, mostly try to stay warm and get the boats ready.

Who stole spring? True believers know that warm weather eventually will arrive, but it surely is difficult to convince our crew as they fight numb digits to clean and prepare the riverboats for the arrival of passengers. Mother Nature has a strange way of always letting you know who really is in charge.

The river actually is quite low this spring, but we will not pray for rain because we know from experience that you sometimes get more than want. So, the moisture is appreciated but we have had it with the cool temperatures.
