Spring rain

Thomas Jefferson once wrote that the key to personal liberty is self reliance, and self sufficiency. He also had 200 slaves at his residence working to keep up his property.
I wonder much these days if freedom and liberty are still possible. The closest example of self sufficiency I have to observe are the Amish farmers, yet, even they rely on a community for survival. Humans are truly social creatures. Modern convenience allows humans greater amounts of time for personal pursuits, the physical fitness industry is a direct result of humans having more time for themselves. Time for movies, time for hobbies, and time just to listen to the rain.

Spring rains are always the best. They bring out more flowers, contain rolling thunder storms, and more green things to look at.

Bumba, Dee, Da,...Happy Trails!
