Spring in the air

 

Maya and "Lemon"

I'm looking forward to some fresh poached eggs. Despite the snow and cold, the hens have been laying like crazy all winter.  All the love and attention must have something to do with it. They are truly pets, and come running for a treat whenever they spot human legs.

Mornings are my favorite time of day here. The house faces east, so you can watch the sun come up over the mountain across the river. The golden light is beautiful. No drapes or blinds in the living room windows, so the glare is intense until the tree canopy fills in again. Don't even think about watching TV, not that I'd want to pollute the magic hour with a bunch of awful news.

 It's back to work and school today for everyone but I'll keep busy. Another sunny day in the 50's which should finish off the snow on the deck. Then it gets cold again, as the weather whipsaws between winter and spring for a few more weeks. Snow in the mountain passes tomorrow, so I'll probably return to Seattle on Wednesday.
