Wow, we have been through a lot together over these past seven years. When I became editor of the Life section, I wanted to create a place where readers could go to feel like they were safe and cozy. A have-a-cup-of-coffee-and-sit-a-spell sort of space, a take-a-breath-and-smile haven from the worries of the day.

Wow, what happened?! It seems like only last week that it was spitting snow. Oh, that's right — it was last week. And the temperature gauge is going up and down, some days it's cloudy and rainy and others it's sunny and mild. Oh, and were you caught in that freakish hail dump last week? Welcome to springtime in Boise. My favorite part, besides welcoming all of the early morning songbirds, is suddenly waking up one morning to full-blooming flowering trees and bushes.
