Spring Will Come

As if magically, life begins to return to the city streets with the coming of March. Temperatures may be only slightly warmer and the sun and clouds are definitely mixed, yet the changes have begun. Cafe tables are back on the sidewalks, as are the walkers, joggers, and bicycle riders on the promenade along the lake. The Gelato shop across the street, which remains closed for six months of the year, is now open. Nature has produced no signs of Spring yet, but people are anxious to be outside after a long dreary winter--no matter that they must remain bundled up to sit outside and have something to eat or drink. It doesn't matter. These are all hopeful signs of warmer days to come.

As I look out the window today I have seen rain, rain mixed with snow, clearing skies, more rain, puffy clouds with blue sky--it must be time to hurry out and get a walk in before the next feature on the Geneva weather channel presents itself.

Saturday Steve and I attended the Geneva Auto Show where I was excited to see how far the electric automobile has come in the past year. Great things have transpired--now if we can just get the cost down so we all can afford to drive one.


This Opel has a great design with a generator that recharges the batteries. The speed is good and the range is getting better all the time--about 300 miles.






But this is the new electric car which I choose for my dream car. Impressive! It might cost as much as a house, so I may only be dreaming, but it's fun to dream.
