The spring flower posts begin!! Grateful for these first spottings of spring beauty. Snow drops, a crocus, a robin, and mourning doves nesting on our porch…all in one day.
Spectacular!

After a number of days with significantly less snuggles, Melas tried getting as close as possible with lots of eye contact!
A new strategy….and I was all in.

First snow and first ski of the season! It was too sticky so it was more of a ski-walk but the woods were spectacular.

Per @aoc.bsky.social and co., I'm here to celebrate echo chambers and preaching to the choir. Which sings back, beautifully. "The primary assumption behind the idea that we shouldn’t preach to the choir is that one’s proper audience is one’s enemies, not one’s allies." harpers.org/archive/2017...
