Fever
It was an absolutely gorgeous day... and I let it get away from me.
Emptying boxes from the other place...
organizing
fitting into the available space
plus
cooking
plus
visiting with Brandon who has journeyed here from Laramie...
Then I ran down to a basketball game because if there is one game you should watch each season, it's when Ten Sleep plays the St. Stephen's Eagles from the Wind River Reservation. More on that tomorrow.
But I think I shall explode if I don't take my dogs for a long walk soon...
How do people work inside all the time and *never* have a release in the fresh air? I think I'm about ready for one of those days where I just leave. Take my dogs. Some food. A book. Wander. Hike a draw. Search for fossils and arrowheads. (Which will be a challenge since there's still over a foot of snow on most of the ground.) Have a day when I don't worry about having meals ready on time or having actually accomplished something productive.
Meditate in the silence.
Listen to the whistle of goose wings through the sky.
Watch the dogs scent and dig and run and return.
Paint or sketch or read or just be.
Oh.
Now I get it.
I have my first case of the season.
It was forty five degrees out today and I have spring fever.

Title for today's photo: Sky Blue Pink. When I was little my dad often answered my color questions with -sky blue pink. I wondered for years just what color that might be. It is that color of the sky in this photo. Beautiful and my favorite color.

That's one beautiful view to savor!
Gorgeous colors - keep sending them EAST along with your improved temperatures! I'm packing a cell phone now, on my winter walks. We have so much snow, when I took Taffy to the big field I fell at the end of the hike, fell into the snow and could hardly get up! She steadied me as I leaned on her collar...take a cell phone!

I thought what I was feeling was cabin fever, but I think you may be right. It's spring fever! I can't wait to spend more time outside...neither can my dogs!

Oh how I love those days. I took my dogs up to the mountain. They rolled and rolled in the snow. I think Vaquera just doesn't have enough snow days.
