Cold

Geeze it's cold - 10 degrees or so at dawn - but with a bright sunny sky emerging. And, a nice surprise, three American White Pelicans sleeping on the riverbank.

Met a local today who said it the weather is shaping up to become a repeat of last year - a cold spring followed by a sudden warmup and flooding when the heavy mountain snowpack melts.

Roses

Out by the road on the far side of the house is a wild rose bush. It's mostly thorns. We never water it or cut it back. It just lives on its own. It makes tiny yellow roses that never relax. I think the buds know that opening up is the beginning of the end.
