For about a week, spring took center stage in Breckenridge.

| the Blue River is ice-free flowing into Maggie Pond |
Some days it went 20 degrees above freezing.

Coats were unzipped as snow and ice began to melt.

Now the forecast says snow is on the way.

During April and May we usually have changeable weather.

| the Continental Divide and Keystone Mountain in distance |
Spring can never really get a foothold until June.
 |
| on my morning walk, this 4' (1.2M) frozen puddle looks like a giant's footprint |
Bob and I continue to isolate here at the edge of wilderness.
We try to keep trips to resupply to a minimum of every 2-3 weeks.
We speak to family and friends electronically.
 |
| we speak to the fox just outside our windows... |
We exercise daily and are thankful for the beauty around us.
This month through May, the foxes give birth.
If we're lucky, we'll catch a glimpse of the kits when mama brings them out of their den.
Please stay well and find something that inspires you daily.
May moments of hope uplift you.
Thank you for visiting.
