I did our taxes yesterday. Something I always put off for as long as I can. I must say it was very easy this year. Not much income not much expenses. The Missouri return is actually longer and more complicated than the Federal return when there is nothing to declare.

Spring is here and today we have a brief spat of cooler weather. I woke up this morning at 4:30 to lightning and rain - only a little thunder. Right now it says it is 41 degrees outside but feels like 32 - that's a strong wind.

Here are som pictures of spring flowers in the rain last Saturday. The first one is of a young lady who did not really want to have her picture taken. I took it anyway from a distance while she stared at me. It was taken Thursday afternoon.
