Signs of spring

One of the men saw the first water snake of the year today. The frogs are also singing their springtime songs. The winds are blowing and melting snow. The temp got almost to 60 degrees today. Now the weatherman says blizzard conditions return tonight and tomorrow... maybe a foot of snow some places.
George has been trying to turn on some irrigation ditches, but the headgates are deep in snow. You can see the creek is flooding behind the headgate.

Speaking of water snakes....I saw my first one of the season last Sunday. I didn't greet him with joy! I would much rather see a Robin. Thanks for your pictures. Linda
