Spring comes late in the Rockies. On this day, a pair of Mallards and a pair of Canada Geese are nesting on my pond and a riot of blossoms are on my wild plum trees. Robins are building a nest outside my window and the mule deer are losing their winter coats. Still, a Wyoming spring means a fire at night.
I love the simple pleasures of living in the high country.
Again the blackbirds sings; the streams,
Wake , laughing , from under their winter dreams,
And tremble in the April showers,
The tassels of the maple flowers.
- John Greenleaf Whittier
