Sure Signs of Spring

Lilacs are blooming here in Sheridan - a definite sign that spring has arrived in full force.  And we know because our quaint home in town is literally surrounded by these aromatic bushes.  I just LOVE lilacs!

We took a drive up the mountains on my birthday to cool off.  It was a very warm 92 in town, but only 60 in the Big Horns.  Despite some residual snow in the north face of the mountains, the valleys are greening up just in time to nourish its baby residents including this beautiful little moose.

Further along the road we spotted an elk who literally played hide-and-seek with us for several minutes before bolting for cover in the trees.  Can you see her head peaking around the left side of the boulder?

School is out, and the summer is stretching out before us like a newly discovered path just waiting to be explored.  We can't wait to begin!
