About this time of year the endless stream of cold fronts pushing across the Gulf Coast, bringing leaded gray clouds and rain, and this year freezing temperatures, ice and snow, causes dreams of warmer weather and clear water to seep into my mind.

I ran across the video while reading one of the blogs I follow, people who are on the “Great Loop”, which is defined as a journey around the waterway of the US. The start point can be anywhere and ends when the boater has transited the loop back to their starting point...up the east coast, Hudson River, Eire Canal, Great Lakes, Chicago River to the Mississippi, Ohio River, Kentucky Lakes, Tombigbee to the Gulf Coast and around Florida and often onward to the Bahamas...and here I found “Knee Deep in the Bahamas”.

Now with every hint of spring, warmer weather and the occasional robin and cardinals flirting around the bird bath, comes yet another round and reminder that winter (I know a Texas winter isn’t anything like northern winters) is still not passed us by.

So enjoy this moment of dreaming of warm weather and clear waters.
