Sunday was one of those amazing it’s almost spring in Nebraska days where the outdoor thermometer hit 70-something degrees and the sky was an incredible shade of blue. It was just what I needed! Jeremy and I spent a little time in the afternoon raking leaves off our front lawn, then later I went over to my parents’ house where I snapped this picture. My folks moved to a house on Spring Lake several months ago. So far the chilly winter temps have kept us indoors, but on Sunday we were able to enjoy the lake a little more. The beauty of that day is keeping my soul content as we experience highs in the 40’s this week. Ah, Nebraska! The state of rapid temperature change. One day you could be luxuriating in 70 degrees and the next your yard could be blanketed in snow. To quote one of our fight songs:

There is no place like Nebraska,
Where they’re all true blue.
We’ll all stick together,
In all kinds of weather,
For Dear old Nebraska U!
