Sometimes I think that our culture has removed itself from the environment so much that we miss the subtle signs that nature sends. My drive to work follows the Mississippi River and while it is beautiful all year round, each season is very different. Today as I drove along Highway 61, I happened to see two huge bald eagles hanging out in a tree. They were obviously scanning the horizon for food. Yes, it was pretty cool to stop my car and to be less than 25 feet from these amazing birds; but all that aside, this can only mean one thing - SPRING IS COMING!Forget about Puxatawney Phil, these guys make their way south when winter comes and then start to make their way back north as the weather warms. Even though it is -4 degrees out today, I would like to trust in the fact that these two know something I don't. At least I can hold out hope.
