Hee, hee, much laughing as mother nature flips her nose at me and my predictions of winter white done. Snowing late yesterday, and snowing this morning. Nothing stuck and it's stopped for now, but I now know why the locals have been glancing quizzically at us when we said we wanted to come back in early May. Weather is predicted by altitude, seriously, listing snow above X feet. It just so happens we are 8800 and a lot of predictions talk snow above 8000. Okaaay then...
We did get the rest of the baby trees planted yesterday - all 60 are now in the ground with their various moisture slurry, fertilizer tablets, sun or animal protection. A lot of stuff for foot high trees! Wish us luck on a good survival rate.
There are 2 pair of orioles as it turns out. And clever creatures, they have figured out how to pull out the yellow plastic inserts that keep bees out of the middle of the hummingbird feeders so they can reach the sugar water more easily. Constant battle between the hummers & big boys. We weren't here this time last year so don't know if this group is transient or staying.
Elk are still wandering around, and we've seen more deer showing up in the woods. I figure this is a sign the trees will be leafing out soon. And little flowers are popping up everywhere in spite of snow.
Well...even if May is a little early, I think it is cool for you to experience every month there (at least once) The changes are so dramatic and interesting to experience.
