It is hard to believe, but according to the calendar this is Spring. Spring time in the mountains. This morning was not quite as "brisk" as yesterday--11 degrees Fahrenheit for the 24 hour low. We had a little snow day before yesterday too. It looks like the higher mountains around us have a fresh coating of new snow on them. The animals are starting to move. People have been seeing bears and yesterday someone saw a mountain lion. The wildflowers are starting to bloom too. Right now we have some Hayden's Gilia (Gilia haydenii) , arrowleaf balsam root ((Balsamorhize sagittata), and dandelions brightening the landscape.
