One Sign of Spring

It's a beautiful day here in northern Colorado and spring is definitely here; hopefully winter got the memo and will stay away until next year! One of the things I love most about living here is how often we see Pelicans, Bald Eagles and a variety of other wildlife. In northern California, the most we would see was wild Turkeys and Rattlesnakes. I have noticed more and more Pelicans arriving, as they do each spring to spend the spring, summer and part of fall with us. There is a wild grass area next to the golf course and they are going to be putting in a lake where the grasses are. I'm wondering if that will mean we will see more geese and of course pelicans.
I'm going to take Hunter out on a nice long walk and plan to ride this afternoon, before I start quilting. I just love it when the weather cooperates and I can sit outside and read-so that may happen before I begin quilting. In the evenings we watch t.v.-especially the Voice and I sit stitching. This years talent has been incredible!
 I hope you have a fantastic day and can get outside and enjoy some weather-hopefully sunny and not rain! I would send all our rain and snow, that is forecast for this week, to California. Please, you can have it. I am glad we are at about 95% of our water totals, but so many are in need in the entire state of Ca.
Hugs,
Noreen

Outdoor Wednesday

 One of the wonderful things about our area is the Pelicans that arrive in the spring and stay until fall.  We've wanted to get a photo of one landing but so far haven't been able to.
The numbers are dwindling but we spotted these guys on our bike ride the other day.  We also saw an eagle last week but didn't have our camera...bummer. 
I'm walking in a few minutes and then hubby and I will be going on a ride later this morning. 
Have a wonderful day!  Noreen
