Spring, finally

We are finally starting to emerge from our cocoon.  I've started to be able to take a breath again, and look up and around again.  The beauty didn't leave while I wasn't paying attention.  That is reassuring.

The adjustment to homeschooling is coming along well,

and even though this year has been a record long dreary winter, the days are much longer now, and there are longer spells between rain storms.

The streams in the nearby foothills are swollen with snowmelt.

And I can feel that the sunny days are not too far away now.

Can you feel it too?
