...it is Spring...somewhere

Self portrait with a hiker sign. The hiker should be wearing snowshoes.


No picnics at this table for a while.

Gabby in contrast against the snow.

Gabby and I took a nice walk around the loop at Discovery Campground this afternoon. The road is plowed all the way to the gate where we parked and got out of the truck for our little jaunt. The weather was nice albeit a little windy, but that didn't matter much since we were in the trees. The snow was solid under our feet so we didn't break through with the exception of a couple places where the sun had been softening things.

So, it was all good. Still, I couldn't help thinking that in just a few weeks it will be totally different. The snow will be gone and before we know it we will be camping in these woods. But, for now we wait for melting, because the calendar says...it is Spring...somewhere.

Hello sweet brother of mine. I found spring, it was in Phoenix with Keith and I. 80 degrees everyday we were there. The Seattle Mariners and some other teams players stayed at our hotel which was fun. The spring training fields were literally two blocks away. Spent some great time at the pool and wore sandals every day we were there. TO GREAT!!! Landed to sunshine and 32degrees but no snow so all is well.

I found spring - It's at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Golden sunrises, warm red sandstone vistas, and a bill that starts with Big Head Todd and the Monsters.
