First Trip of the Spring to the Aspen

For the first time this year the thermometer hit 50 degrees, at our house, today! The snow has melted enough that we were able to hike to the aspen grove above our house.


Preston, Spencer, and Ruby just have to get their feet muddy! The pond is still about half covered with snow!

Flowers are already blooming! These little yellow ones covered the hill near the pond.

Last weekend the valley floor was still covered with snow! What a difference a week makes. Notice Angela and Ruby in the bottom right corner of the photo.
