Dandy Days

I extended a business trip and visited my brother in Indianapolis. I didn't have a good pair of walking shoes with me (I won't make that mistake again!) so I decided I would do some of my work sitting outside in his backyard. It didn't take long for the wet, spring air to distract me. And before I knew it I was gazing upon the perfect spring visual! Mushrooms were popping up in the wet ground. A dandelion had sprouted. And purple Irises were gently swaying to the birds chirping. All of this taking place under the subdued light of cloud-covered skies.
