When it's springtime in the Rockies!!

Posted 3/1/2008 8:38pm by Betsy Austin.

Do I dare say that spring is here?? Maybe I should wait until after this next bit of weather goes on east!! This last week has been glorious; warm sunny days with just a few wisps of clouds overhead. The snow here has been rapidly melting; welcome to mud season!! Tommorow, though, the weatherman says it's supposed to snow here. We'll see if he knows what he's talking about!!

overwintered pansies

Just got a new "toy" yesterday. I broke down and bought a digital camera. I have always been intrigued by the cameras the interns have; they can take a gazillion pictures, look at them immediatly, and if they don't like how a picture turned out, they just push a little button and.....it is gone. {and they can store all those pictures on a little bitty piece of plastic looking stuff instead of all the boxes and photo album that we have!!} So last night I spent a few hours trying out all the little{and I do mean little!!} buttons, just to see what they do!! Since it was the middle of the night, I took real exciting pictures of... the bookcase....the dogs sleeping...the design in the carpet....and thankfully could just push the little button and.... they disappeared.

Today, after Mom and I set out more lettuce transplants in the high tunnel and watered everything well, I went out and took some more interesting shots of what's happening in the greenhouse and high tunnel. I was amazed at how much many of the plants have changed in just a couple of weeks!!

I took a lot more pictures. Not all of them turned out well, but I posted the best ones from today in the picture gallery.

Looks like maybe spring has sprung???
