There are those that can trek the world and see nothing, pessimistically, and there are those that can walk around the block and see all the wonderment and diversity of our home planet. B. G. Clark
This morning we saw our first Pasque. The pasque is a member of the buttercup family and is the first flower to bloom at altitude in the Spring. We are always surprized to see them for the first time, it brings smiles to our faces and a promise of warmer weather. The beaver are really active, the Rocky Mountain Bluebirds are staking their claims on the houses that we have for them, the Canadian Geese have arrived as have the Mallards, our beautiful home is inundated with wildlife. I can hardly keep the dogs out of the lake. It's still a little too cold for them as yet, but should it be a little warmer this week, they will get their first swim prior to their daily hike. This has been a rough week, but the sight of the pasque has brought my spirits high. I could have never believed that I would one day live where I dreamed of.
