Hello and welcome to episode 55 of Connecting with Walt.

I am your host and is historian Michael Bowling,

and I'm joined by my co-host, producer and good friend Craig Williams.

Craig, how are you today?

I'm great. How are you, Michael?

I'm doing well. Thank you.

Excuse me, I was just going to say spring is in full bloom out here, and so are my allergies.

Clearly. I mean, everything is, I mean, it's just like everything opened up. We're in 80- 80 degree weather now which I'm sorry to all of our friends who live you know up in you

know Coon Haller Indiana or wherever where you are still in you know five feet of

snow but I mean everything has just burst open like overnight here and it's wonderful the the fragrance of orange

blossoms are heavy in the air around our house and all of that I am so allergic but I love it I mean I

just love springtime

And you know

Because everything was just a drab around here

Even though it was not covered in snow

I mean

It was just so dead looking

And especially after the drought

And now just to see after all of our rain

To see it all bounce back and leaf out and bloom and all of that, it's wonderful.
