Lookin' for Spring...

We've had a blistery winter, as in "frozen pipes" winter: not our, but the towns. But that was determined AFTER I had hired and paid the plumber. January here is horrid. But winter has lost it's grip, and I see some green grass blades and iris plants coming up. Oh, it will be late April before the grass is green, and the tulips will have blossomed but will freeze before full bloom. That's what living at 7,600 feet above elevation, with mountains towering at over 14,000 feet, all around you will do for "Spring". Basically, we go from Winter to Summer. Still, I do love this time of the year. Easter memories, new growth, what Easter means, return of life.... And yet, winter had it's own beauty. I'm just looking forward to "green" however. Be Well. Do Good.
