Signs of Spring

It was forty-six and breezy this morning when we took a walk by the Madison River.  We walked through cloud after cloud of insects.  The meadowlark and geese greeted us with grand songs of spring time.  The aspen trees are budding and the wild iris' are waking up.

We drove through the campground to see what changes the gorging made this winter.  There appeared to be less of an adverse impact than last year.  The beaver dam survived.  All the ice has melted along the river banks and the water is clear and beautiful.

The wind is picking up speed and the clouds are getting darker.  The weather man is predicting two to six inches of snow this evening.  The land will be grateful for the moisture.
