We had our first spring storm! Well, sort of.\u00a0\u00a0It spritzed.\u00a0\u00a0But it made an effort!\u00a0\u00a0It was right at that sweet time when the sun begins to set (officially, the sun is setting at\u00a0<span>8:15 PM<\/span>! We have 14 hours of sun).\u00a0\u00a0Looking west I could see the yellowish-grey sunset-light and the appearance of rainfall.\u00a0\u00a0I could SMELL rain.\u00a0\u00a0I am told there was a pretty spectacular rainbow. I didn\u2019t see that.\u00a0\u00a0But this is always my best view of the sunsets and storm skies \u2013 the east! The neighbors\u2019 houses get painted with the warm setting sun and since the trees have not leaved out, well the view is dramatic! The \u2018storm\u2019 moved past to the east; behind it were blue skies mixed with large clouds moving quickly with the help of the wind (and leaves!).\u00a0\u00a0The aspen looked like a lightning bolt at first!\u00a0\u00a0This view is only available for a short time until the trees bring on their foliage. The big tree to the right is already red with buds.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s happening, folks! I am pretty sure we won\u2019t get anymore snow.\u00a0\u00a0I think it\u2019s safe to say, Spring is here!<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Jean Des Marais<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>spring is finally here!
