Happy May Day!

Springtime in the Rockies comes true again today as I look out my window to the big white flakes that have now covered the ground, the garden and the trampoline. Tomorrow more of the same, they say. The goldfinches perch on the Aspen tree, waiting for their turn at the feeder. The two closest Aspen's have their leaves fully out, the farthest one is still mostly bare. The oak has no leaves. The apple tree is just beginning to bring forth it's flowers. Hopefully, the snow won't steal the apple crop. Cocoa, our dog, is in apple heaven in the fall when she gets to pick the apples off the ground, AND the tree! whenever she wants a snack.
