Spring at Last

 When I left for Haiti, one week ago, Southwestern Pennsylvania was still chilly and gray.  
 During my absence, a gentle ghost of spring visited the land.  
 Of course, compared to any Caribbean nation--even the unluckiest--this place is still pretty monochromatic.  
 It was a beautiful time in Haiti.  The people are wonderful; despite poverty, disease, and ecological ruin, it's a lovely country with dramatic mountains and endless beaches.  We did some sustainable humanitarian  work in the cholera-prone highlands there.  But it's good to be home to my native place of oatmeal skies.
