We're back to springtime in the Rockies!

The winter was a cold one, except for a January thaw in Kauai.

Now, we're coming out of our winter hibernation now, in a flurry of activity!

First, there's the long-awaited project kickoff of Finishing the Basement.

We have the BEFORE shot and we'll show you the AFTER shots in about 5 weeks! The big pile in the corner is the mound of stuff we were allowed to leave ... most everything else ended up at various donated agencies.

(bye bye Barbies!)




PLAYING IN THE SNOW!

While that project got underway we were able to get a couple of great ski trips in and hit two of the all time best CO ski resorts - Aspen and Telluride - in March. Here's us atop Ajax Mountain in Aspen.

Then, to celebrate many March birthdays (Dave, Jane, Alyssa - just missing Jamie!), we spent a fun weekend with Alyssa and Dave in Telluride. Those two are hard to keep up with on their snowboards!

Here are two videos, one with Dave's commentaries.

and last but not least!

Global warming hasn't hit us too bad up here. By the Flewelling almanac, the pond's ice went out 5 days later this year compared to last year. Will be looking for the hummingbirds to arrive in about 3 weeks.

Till then ... get outside, enjoy the sun, dig in the dirt and have some fun!
