It is truly wonderful to have the opportunity to experience the beauty of Spring in the Smokies this year.  It seems like the beautiful and mild spring weather may hold on as long as the harsh winter weather did.  This nice spring weather has a peaceful and calming effect on me.  The weather man says we have some more of it on the way.  I've been out in some hard weather this winter.  Being out in this fantastic spring weather brings a little balance.
