Welcome Spring!

Even if the weatherman and calendars hadn't told us so- it was obvious that spring was giving winter the boot! Everywhere we look these days, spring is poking it's glorious head through. Whether it be in the bulbs that are starting to show off, the 69 degree day yesterday, or the small, but significant changes such as the first swallow of the year doing beautiful dives in our front yard right on cue with the day- it's officially here for more than just a calendar.

Rattlesnake Lake is also warming! The lake is coming back up to higher levels, the fish are rising, the Indian Plum is blooming, hairy woodpeckers are plentiful, red huckleberries are already tiny berries, forest violets are in full bloom and the sunshine through the trees fills my soul like a welcome old friend.
