Springtime in the Rockies

The first year I lived in Colorado, when April rolled around I was in shock. I grew up in Virgina where April means spring flowers, cherry blossoms and dog woods in bloom. Winter is (usually) a distant memory by the end of April.

In Colorado, April means snow. And then more snow. Most non-Coloradans don't know that April is our snowiest month. It has snowed EVERY DAY THIS WEEK. But it's not our usual "dry" snow. And the ground is no longer frozen.

As ususal the dogs get to go out every morning. Here was the result after an hour of playtime yesterday morning...what Springtime in the Rockies means to me....

The other dogs all looked just as bad, but really, how many dirty dog pictures does anyone need to look at.

And what about Mama Raven, aka The Dog Who Never Gets Dirty?
