Back in the Saddle

All physical evidence to the contrary, I am declaring this very long winter to be over. We are officially 'back in the saddle again' with weekend outings and hiking. Enough is enough.

Never mind that our excursion to check out our favorite low-mountain trail on Sunday resulted in us driving right on by the snow-ladened parking lot. Never mind that our trip over the pass included 8-foot-walls-of-snow-plowed-up-against-the-side-of-the-road scenery. And don't even remind me about getting rained on while wandering around the Saturday Farmer's Market looking at flowers and produce. (Well, not actually a lot of produce, as such - mostly just early asparagus. And still only tulips for flowers.)

Spring is slow in coming. But I sure am done with winter.
