Spring Starts Small

One has to start slowly getting into the swing of living the outdoor life again. Here we are in May and spring sure is taking its time getting established. Charlie and I picked a simple spot for our first real spring adventure. We walked around Como Lake to see how things are progressing. Charlie loved being able to throw rocks into the water again. My favorite things seen were all the turtles sunning themselves on fallen trees. They were a decidedly cheerful bunch.

From tender green buds on trees to animals getting about the business of being, spring starts small and gains momentum powered by longer sun rays and optimism.
