Spring

One sign of spring around here is the return of the buzzards. Not as pretty as the return of the hummingbirds, but more obvious in the sky. There must have been 30 of them circling south of the Mancos River yesterday evening ... probably enjoying all the carcasses coming out of the melting snow.

On a brighter side, much brighter, there are beautiful little flowers opening up in the bed just east of the house; the renter has been helping them along by lifting the snow pile off them. They're bright and cheery! tv
