Ebb & Flow

This time of year when the days begin to grow longer and the sun actually starts to provide heat in it's rays, the garden begs for attention and my fishing tackle calls to me as I pass by, I find that the time that I spend with my coins will ebb for awhile.

Instead of daily visits that last a few hours, by mid-summer I will probably only pay my respects to them once a week. It is not that I have lost interest or can not afford new acquisitions, It is that I truly enjoy the outdoors and here in Idaho that window of opportunity is a limited amount of time. By the beginning of fall I will have had my fill and the flow will once again shift towards concentrating on what I call "My Therapy" or the careful pursuit of yet another beautiful coin to add to my forever growing collection.

This Ebb & Flow has gone on for years now and has become an indicator of how the seasons change for me, almost a symphony if you will. I was therefore wondering how other collectors habits also change throughout the year or if they even do.
