Spring is coming on all around us
March 16, 2010
OK, they are only weeds, but I love dandelions. A week or so ago, before our latest snow storm, my day was brightened by the sight of patches of dandelions blooming on the embankment along 260 just east of the 87 intersection. You just have to admire their tenacity to pop out of the cold ground and thrust up their golden heads. Our spring bloom seems later than usual this year, but will probably make its appearance this week with warmer weather forecast. Rim Country is beautiful year-round and especially so in the spring. Aren’t we blessed to live here?

Spring brings puppies, kittens by basket full
March 12, 2010
With spring right around the corner, there are so many things to look forward to. All the rain and snow we’ve had this winter are going to bring beautiful desert flowers and, hopefully, dramatically reduce the threat of wildfires.
