Happy Saturday

In the mountains, it feels as if we catapult from snow to summertime in an instant. After snow a month ago, we now have more flowers blooming than I can possibly show you.

Here's one of my favorites - a Shooting Star. It blooms in very wet meadow areas so I had almost lie down in muddy water to take this photo!
The wild irises are turning our meadows blue.
And Shyla and I are spending lots of time playing in the flowers.
Indeed, we're both sleeping very well because it's easy to wear ourselves out having fun at this time of year. I can't imagine a better place for a short snooze than Hug Hill.
But the sleep just reinvigorates us to go out and play again.
I hope you're all having a happy Saturday!

    What a beautiful place to catch a nap. Mom is going up to Meadow Valley CA up in the mountains in a couple weeks to take her 95 year old Dad there for a surprise birthday party. She hasn't been high up i the mountains in FOREVER. Hopefully a bear won't eat her, but she's really looking forward to it.

    It seems a few weeks ago these meadows were in snow, everywhere. Beautiful flowers that grow there, no planting, no nurturing, rain water and natural surroundings, what could be prettier!

    That Shooting Star looks like a tropical flower. Who would have guessed it lives in the Rockies? Glad you are enjoying some good weather and abundant flowers.
