Springtime is for hanging out

Bear cubs that were born in January are now tiny bundles of energy and curiosity. They’re leaving their dens and will be trailing mom through your neighborhood and across roads. Keep an eye open for them, stop your vehicle and give the little laggards time to catch up with mom before you move on.

Welcome spring with asparagus

On an unusually warm day in February, I noticed a purple violet pushing up through winter’s fallen leaves. This tiny harbinger of spring cheered me up after a season of gray skies, record-breaking rain and very little snow. Sometimes I think I’m solar-powered, to the extent that I crave sunlight for energy and joy.
