Spring at the Lake

The mountain was calling to me today. I had to take a drive up and see if spring was making its way up the mountain. I drove to Monticello Lake and looked around it to the peaks. There were still patches of snow and no leaves on the aspens and oaks yet, but the grass was green.

I love our mountain. It's my happy place.

I love the color of the trunks of these small trees. They have a reddish tint mixed among the gray. These and willows are my favorite wintertime colorful plants. These have awesome blossoms in the spring too. I was just a bit too early for that.

Good Things:

Snow is melting

Road up the mountain is open

Only one more month of school
