The peach trees are blossoming. Bees are about. Ants are back. Deer are moving back up. The tractor and snowblower have been powerwashed. Summer tires are back on Julie's Subaru. The awning is installed over the deck. The robins are loud. It is spring.

...It is spring.
Yup, here in Bend, too...with maybe a couple of summer-like days thrown in -- just as a tease.

Nice Spring day in Barcelona.A few high clouds and sun about 70ish.
Good day for being a lounge lizard.

Hey ski3pins, does Julie use a tool like this? I saw a similar tool pop up while surfing the web today.
Yes!

Kind of takes away the thrill of sliding off the roof though

It sure does, Craig! The roof avalanche tool is too heavy for Julie to use for long periods. We got her a light weight aluminum roof rake that is easy for her to handle. She takes the roof snow off a foot or so above the gutters.

I opened windows and doors of my house today to let spring air flow through, the first time this year that I felt it was warm enough do do that.
I think today is the warmest day we've had: about 75.

Couple more 90 degree days coming before it cools off. I'm wondering if we'll get some grass fires before it does. I've already contacted the city trying to get them to water the dog park.They don't mind watering the medians, soccer fields and the skate park but for some reason the dog park doesn't get the same consideration.
