A few spoil Columbia’s idyllic status

This is the time of year that most proves the wisdom of my choice to make Columbia our retirement home as the weather begins to mirror the hospitality of its citizens. The month of May normally signals the end of the difficult to predict weather patterns of winter and early spring, giving way to shirt sleeve and convertible weather and the rebirth of magnificent flora, even the weeds that when cropped closely are almost indistinguishable from lush green grass.
