Signs of Spring in SW Missouri

We'll it is definately Spring here in SW MO. We just had some heavy rain yesterday and Tuesday night which is not unusual for this part of the country. There was cloud to ground lightening and the thunder was loud while I was at work. I'm excited by the fact that baseball has started. My favorite team, the St. Louis Cardinals are sitting at 1-1 and are tied for third in the NL Central Division. Of course it's only the first week of major league baseball but it's still exciting.
