It's springtime in the Rockies. The trees are starting to return to life. The aspens have tiny "baby green" leaves, the conifers have a slight fringe of light green new growth. The land is waking up from winter. There will still be some snow storms, but the snow will not stick at the lower elevations. The mountains will get dustings of snow that look like someone sprinkled them with powdered sugar. In the meantime, the does are wandering in my backyard nibbling at the young shoots. It's the first time that food has been plentiful in several months.
To that end, we put together the back porch. During the winter, the deck is empty. It's too cold. But, with the hint of spring in the air, it's time to use the deck. It's quiet and lovely. We can enjoy the critters as they meander in our backyard, yet they cannot see us. It's a perfect little world back here and one that we'll enjoy everyday for the next few months.
