Springtime in the Rockies

Because of my knee procedure, I haven't been able to go hiking, walking etc.  A little over a week ago Wilbur took me for a drive into the mountains so I could get my fresh air fix.  It was a different world 1500 hundred feel higher. We started with a few piles of snow here and there and ended with significant snow everywhere.  We finally came to the drift that stopped us.

A couple days later, the newspaper reported that two teenagers decided to blast through the very drift where we stopped.  Search and Rescue pulled them out early in the morning of the next day.  No doubt their parents were pleased.

Hmmmmmm. It doesn't quite look like spring, does it? This week Daphne and I went to Mercer arboretum. They had every color of pansy imaginable. Today the kids played in sprinklers. It got up to 90 degrees.
