Dear Readers,

Happy Spring. I don't know about you, but I am looking forward to a smaller gas bill. I am celebrating the coming days when I won't have to create a nest of blankets and wear two shirts, a hat, and a scarf just to read a book on my couch. I mark the trees daily, hoping for a sign of green, and I can't wait lose this persistent cough that has dogged me for the past month. And the most immediate pleasure of Spring: our Spring issue, coming out of the lean winter months, here to usher in the thaw. I hope you enjoy it.

Sincerely,
Katie
