Spring daffodils

It’s probably because I have more time to appreciate it, more opportunity to participate in it, more awareness to revel in it— I am loving Spring in Colorado!

True, there’s still snow up in the mountains…

Snow up in the mountains

And the other day, I had to drive about 6 miles to the Storage place and during that drive I went through— HAIL, then, RAIN, then, SUNNY, then HAIL AND RAIN pouring down in buckets!  On the drive back to my house, it was SNOW and RAIN mix, then, SWIRLING SNOW and yet SUNNY enough to cast shadows.   A half hour later, it was all done— ground was wet for a couple of hours, the sun dried it all up and it was like, it never happened.  Like Jack said, I had “some weather.”

It is still quite chilly in the mornings and I have a hard time convincing Mary to wear a thick jacket for when I drop her off to school.  On the pick-up at noon, the teacher makes them wear their jackets (and I’m sure Mary does not give her a hard time) but as soon as she sees me, the jacket comes off, along with her backpack, and she prances around, revelling in the cool spring air. 

I’m not the only one who loves spring around here…
