Spring, finally!

The weather has been awesome (fingers crossed so not to jinx things). The temps have been hitting almost 50° and the sun has been out everyday since Saturday. The snow is melting, the mud is drying up and hell, I wore shorts all day Sunday.

At home the yard has been raked, all the dog poop is gone, some grass is starting to turn green, it's gotta be the real spring. I still have to wait a little on the garden, but it's all ready for some plant life.

There's even more activity going on around town. I've seen neighbors that I know I haven't seen since last fall and the hot dog carts are out downtown.


I didn't make it to Hawk Watch this year, but from the reports I've heard it must have been something. I've heard of lots of Golden Eagles, Rough-legged Hawks, Northern Hawk Owls, you name it. I stayed close to home and got to see some Golden Eye's, American Dippers, Northern Pintail and of course tons of Canada Geese, Mallards, Gulls, etc.

....and the sunsets. We weren't the only ones watching them.
