Another little bitty pretty in the basin. 🙂

The sun is shining after three days and nights of rain (we didn’t float away, but we sure are soggy!), and these three girls are shining bright in these sweet March days.

She’s the prettiest shaggy little lady ever. 🙂

Maiku, a bachelor following a band, gives another bachelor the stink eye.
Walking out to visit them, I crossed several arroyos – all of which had clear water trickling through the bottoms. Wow. Even this wonderful winter, that’s a remarkable thing here in the desert, and it deserves to be remarked upon!

After a full day of rain, rain and more drizzly rain, we are soggy. 🙂
This pic of sleepy Tenaz was taken last month. Access to the basin is difficult lately. In the very best way!

Imagine those white specks as translucent rain – in fact, leave all the white out of the equation – and that’s what it looks like around here these days. 🙂
We have gotten moisture to the wazzoo-th degree! We are SO grateful. I was so, so very worried almost all of last year. This year, already, I am so relieved and hopeful for good growing and flowing months to come.

Melted, pal.
Don’t worry. More is on the way. 🙂 (Rain first, though!)

For just a little while, Disappointment Valley looked like this again.
The temp was so warm, the ground so wet, that snow melted within a few hours. And it left more, more, more moisture!

We had nearly a day yesterday of not-white wet stuff – aka rain. 🙂
Days like the one pictured above, just a week or so ago, are days of the (very) recent past.
Days like that could come again. After all, it’s March in Colorado, and March in Colorado is typically the wettest month in Colorado. 🙂
Moisture is moisture, and we in winter Colorado love moisture because it means summer Colorado – particularly in our high-desert southwestern corner of Colorado – will reap the benefits.
More rain is in the forecast. 🙂
And the wind is howling … !

Look at that cute little frosty muzzle! 🙂 Kinda belies his serious look here.
Our snow is melting, but rain is coming, keeping us in the well-moistened category!
