Springtime in the Mountains

May 9, 2011

Signs of Spring

Spring in the mountains is often filled with popcorn snow showers and blustery winds.  Garden and plant lovers know there will be a required wait to see the light green new growth of the Aspens and never to put in new flowers and veggies until late May.   So we wait. . . .  Plants eventually break their way through the ground to face the sunshine one day and receive a heavy wet blanket of snow the next.    While we have experienced some strong winds this year there have also been some beautiful, sunny, calm days.    I saw a Robin adding to its nest this week, humming birds in search for a feeder,  low growing yellow wilflowers, daffodils and tulips in bloom.  Spring has arrived!
