Spring at last!

Today was the first day we felt a warm sun, with no wind and the fresh scent of spring and said, "It's really spring!" Of course, we'll have some snow storms yet, but it really felt like spring today!

We were up at Bauer Lake about 9-ish this morning and the lake was really calm. Just a few ducks and geese swimming, great blue herons fishing around the edges. Ute Mountain and Mesa Verde's Point Lookout were clear across the lake.

We went on up the road toward Little Bauer Lake, a Forest Service road that's still closed just below Little Bauer. On the way back, we saw this squatter squirrel, taking an early morning sunbath on the porch of a birdhouse it had commandeered. The squirrel was so still for so long, Sandy wondered if it was a stuffed one, put there for a prank. It ducked inside the birdhouse when she approached, so she concluded the squirrel was playing, "If I don't move, you can't see me." tv
