What will fill up your year?

I love April in Iowa.

Nature’s Time-Machine.

Walking through the woods, we’re prompted to look ahead.

To what we’d like to do this coming year.

And recall what we regretted not doing this past year.

Then imagine, for a moment, how we might feel next April after fulfilling what today is only potential.
