It feels like it's been raining for a week. Twice in the last 3 days tornado sirens have gone off. Adam and I live on the second floor of our building and rather than head to the underground parking garage we usually just look out the window to see how hard it's raining. We figure a tornado won't get very far in downtown des moines.
The sound of raindrops dripping off the roof and sliding slowly down the windows is soothing, even though at this point I long to see the sun and watch the little green buds form on the tips of the branches. Maybe when I get back to Iowa at the end of the week spring will have sprung here.

Let's hear it for business trips! I miss Iowa springtime. It's just not the same here in CO. For example, there are fewer tulips. There is no tulip time. There are no Relays. We wear sandals here on sunny Saturdays in February/March. I guess the contrast between an Iowa winter and an Iowa spring is more evident than that of Colorado early spring to spring.... hmmm.
