Well, it's Friday afternoon.  Spring is finally in the air. A sense of anticipation is brewing within me to mark the change of season with an annual sacred ritual, which I will perform tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m. Through the dark, dreary days of Winter, I dreamt of this coming day, cursing the snow and wind that kept me from indulging in this worthy pastime. In preparation for this long awaited event, I have checked the gas gage on the car to make sure that the tank is filled. My schedule for Saturday morning has been cleared, and my family has been notified that I will not be available tomorrow morning for anything short of an emergency. I have carefully laid out my cross trainers with a good pair of comfortable socks. A light-weight sweat suit is draped on the chair in my room in wait. I've checked my destination, tracking it with Map Quest to make sure that I won't lose any time getting lost. I'll hit the sack early this evening to make sure that I will have the stamina and clear thinking that will be needed. The success of this endeavor will require careful deliberation and decision-making that only a good night's sleep will ensure.  Although the preparation is intense, if played out right, the rewards will be worthwhile. Yes, by now I am sure that most of you know what Nona has planned to celebrate the coming of Spring. The signs on the telephone pole have foretold it....Tomorrow is the first Yard Sale of the year and ladies and gents, come tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m., Nona's on her way!
