A gradual spring is nice, especially one after a winter of high snow levels. Then the snow melts gradually, and the risk of flooding and damage to our dirt roads is minimized. However, hail is a bit of a setback.
Wowee! Look at these!
However, now that enough snowpack has melted so that the meese can access browse, they have quit being hangry, and we can walk at least this one trail system again. Our favorite trail system, behind our cabin, is, alas, inaccessible now due to another reason: a thawed and flowing creek.
This trail is melting out little by little. There are streams of water cutting through at places.
The water is clear and very pretty.
Oh no! COMB!! The other downside of spring.
Winter almost always has one last hurrah. It's like it comes back into the room after it's left, shouting, "And another thing!"
But underneath the earth, the world awakens. A few days after I spotted the rhubarb, I saw the first columbine plants appear.
Here is a Cricket selfie!
And here is a Thistle selfie!
