Dare we say the word, S*****

The temps are climbing.The snow is melting. The clouds are parting. The rainbow forms over the next little town to us. Surely there's a pot of gold with the name SPRING  written on it and golden daffodils inside!

Angus and I took a chance and walked in the fields today. Happy, happy boy - jumping and hunting and alerting me to all sorts of possibilities in the brush. Tail up, nose in air, standing on tippy toes. "Look mom, over there...see".

Should add photo is from our local weather station. They publish photos every few days taken by local people of country scenes in the area.

Gorgeous photo!  I, too, am praying for that pot of gold called SPRING!  Buffy is anxious to get out for a walk in the woods and see what the critters have been up to.

The only thing missing from the photo is a yellow brick road!

Fun.  Supposed to hit 75 tomorrow  -  pool time again.  Then cool off again for the weekend with showers, which we need.

There WAS a treasure at the rainbow's end! It came today. Blue sky , golden sun, warm temps. No rain in the forecast for the next week. We northern mountain folk came out of our houses much like the bears are coming out of their dens.

Stretching and smiling and feeling the warmth on our skin, hearing the busy birds, noting the great blue heron's return along with the osprey and seeing our bald eagle pairs renovating their old nests. Any day now the white tails will be dropping those adorable spotted babies in the fields around us.

Angus ran up and down the wooded slopes on our walk sniffing and searching and coming to tell me all about it.

Finally we can say the word Spring.
