Unfortu...Crocus are great signs of spring anywhere. Unfortunately neither they nor that other sign, grape hyacinths, last -- the javelina show up and much down on them. There are manzanitas that bloom in mid-February -- that's one sign.

The crocuses are indeed out here on Sligo Creek and I got to go for a run without gloves and ear warmers - a nice treat. <BR/><BR/>Reading your post, I was reminded of almost this time last year when we went bouldering together. Mia and I forged a bond by pretending to be lizards. First time my skin had seen the sun that year and it was such a special treat. So even though I am far from Prescott I could very much relate to your writing. Thanks for taking the time to do it!<BR/><BR/>(dare I ask about the swiftwater rescue class?)Helenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176625725841880704noreply@blogger.com
