Every year in early spring, I try to maintain some sense of normalcy and keep to regular schedules and rhythms of work and life. I try, but spring fever infects me each year, and I get caught up in the beautiful excitement of springtime. If this is a sickness, then I hope there’s no cure.
Sometimes I have to leave Southern Appalachia in the springtime for work or family obligations. As much as I try not to, it does happen.
