Spring in Northwest Montana ( well Sort of)
For a while now I have been hearing a voice coming from under the snow. Each day I have been shoveling a little bit more and a little bit more and today there was loud voices and excitement as I broke through that last little bit of snow.
This is my front yard and the snow is about 5 feet deep.
a little bit farther
one more step and there he was..what a guy…and so happy!
and finally broke through to the waterfall basin which was ice free and most likely where he had been drinking and bathing all winter
The little guy was very happy to see open fresh aire….Gee isn’t it amazing what it takes to entertain us…
The smell of mint greeted me as I dug into the snow and around the water basin..not fresh mint but the promise of things to come. I think there are some spring type flowers around there somewhere..perhaps I will have to take time and try to find them…..What better way to celebrate the first day of spring…..
Golly am I ready or what?
