Good Morning, digital neighbors! Greetings and salutations to all you fine purveyors at The Rubin Report, Phetasy, Outspoken, and Padre’s! I hope your week is going swimmingly. It has been a wonderful spring week here in Ozark country. slow rainy days with green popping out everywhere. The tree frogs have now joined the evening chorus of Spring Peepers and other night residents.

After autumn, I enjoy and appreciate spring the most of all our seasons. Spring may not like me — allergies tend to wreck my life — but I still love this season of birth and new growth. Nature is such an amazing thing. While I have not seen the antlions’ funnels yet, I keep checking the spot where I first discovered them last summer. Off to the morning quotes!

Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study. Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life. – Henry L. Doherty

You should have education enough so that you won’t have to look up to people, and then more education so that you will be wise enough not to look down on people. – M. L. Boren
