Colors? My drive is full of colors. The hills around our valley are of brown suede already. Not much greening up there. But from them you can see the patchwork of hop green, lentil green, new wheat green, alfalfa green....

The mountains are still cold, and in their deeper hues. It won't change much until after mid-June, then brief spendor, just before winter falls again. The eagles don't care, so why should I? I'd probably be a lot less grumpy about the whole thing if I could cartwheel on the breeze too...:)

But don't forget the lovely smells that go with all of these colors!! Lambs wool leaving lanolin on your hands that you can smell all day long, sweet peas wafting in through an open window, the smell of good black dirt, earthworms, manure, and the rain.
