SPRINGTIME IN THE ROCKIES





















Behold our front yard. It has all the charm of a glacial moraine.









Springtime in the Rockies may be the stuff of romantic song and legend .......BUT those songwriters are living in the subjunctive. Think about it- 4 or 5 months to build up a couple hundred inches of snow in the mountains. Then.... it begins to melt, soak in, and run off. Face it, this is a recipe for dangerously swollen streams and mudslides.





And Viewcrest Circle- usually a gardenspot- looks like a West Virginia coal mining town.

That's where we are right now, There are, however harbingers of better days to come.....

Robins everywhere. .And even though the chokecherries aren't fermented, they're still crazy about them. Perhaps it's because they are good Utah robins.

And there are more signs about if you look closely. Stay tuned as the camera creeps around looking for signs of life.
