Anyway, ahhhhhhh. It's nice to be home again at Writerathome.blogspot.com
We are in the midst of my favorite Utah season, SPRING. (Elsewhere and generally speaking, autumn is my favorite, but in Utah spring is best.) It's been unusually rainy this spring after an exceptionally dry and almost snowless winter. Resevoirs are full for now, though draught will likely be a problem this summer without much snowpack. But this isn't a weather report and I'm not a meteorologist. Like everyone else in my family, I love inclement weather. In my book, there's nothing more dull than a hot and sunny day without a cloud in the sky. Give me rain, sleet, hail, snow, thunder, lightning -- anything but hot and sunny weather!
I've noticed how much easier it is this year for the robins in our back yard to pull worms from the soft ground. Everything outdoors is cool and fresh and clean. The only drawback to having so much rain is finding a time when it isn't raining or sopping wet to mow the lawn. Small saplings of quaking aspens have sprung up all over the place, too.

I love COWS, especially with Mount Timpanogos as a backdrop:
