My apologies for leaving you hanging for the first half of the month. Fortunately, the weather and the real estate market are both starting to heat up! The great poet Ralph Waldo Emerson said that the Earth laughs in flowers, and as we look at them blooming around us, there is no doubt that our planet is happy that Spring has arrived! I am excited that the weather is warmer, because that means that we will see more of our neighbors and friends. I hope that you'll join me in getting out to enjoy the wonderful events that St. Louis has to offer.
