We'll Take What We Can Get

We'll take what we can get, but we have our first sign of spring in Cleveland! These are the first bulbs--hyacinth? daffodils? Hard to tell yet, but they're here, and here to stay. I had a nice referral today (thank you R. Hefter of Hebrew Academy of Cleveland). The potential Clevelander asked first and foremost about the weather. I told her not to move here because of the weather, but rather in spite of it. Cleveland may have the worst climate I have ever lived in, but has the warmest heart. The people here, the sense of community, the way you can belong all add up to fabulous value. Add in the fact that our housing is cheaper than many places across the country, and our tuition and costs of that sort are less as well, and there you have it.

I have always thought that the first sign of spring in Cleveland is the vans of Amish day-workers coming to build in town. I expect we'll see that sign of spring soon, but our first and foremost sign was actually found in nature--enjoy!
