It’s no joke April is finally here! Of course, today in the Roaring Fork Valley the weather has been much more like a stormy winter day. What was it I said last month about March going out like a lion? Hmmm. Even if the weather today isn’t cooperating, it is still the beginning of a new month and that means a new ithree calendar gets shared with the blogging world.

My flower bed is brimming with green leaf tips of the bulbs planted a few fall’s ago that manage to come back every year just in time for my birthday. They were a present to myself and I enjoy watching them each April, secretly keeping my finger’s crossed they won’t let me down. And they are the inspiration for this month’s calendar. Spring is flirting with the Roaring Fork, drawing us in with warmer days and green colors starting to sprout. On that note, here are the thoughts we sent out on the b-side of April’s calendar.

new snow barely able to stick
warmth softly breathing up the valley
energy found in lengthening days
