Winter?

When I was picking bouquets for the house last weekend it dawned on me: "April Showers bring May Flowers". This was the beginning of March. Everything is in bloom but with freezing nights, the bees and bugs are still hibernating.  There is a lot of talk of low fruit harvests, forest fires and empty reservoirs.
Good thing no snow doesn't mean, no mushing. Clear, below-freezing, mornings are perfect for paper runs. Today I ran with just Trask and Koyuk. I want Trask to learn to lead and he can't do that from wheel. Cedar got to stay in bed with Dave.

The powerful duo just trucked up the hills.

I tie the rig off at the base of the hill because there just is not a good place up at the road. The dogs are waiting in an arch of blooming trees.

While reading the Sunday paper in the 70 degree sunshine, I decided it would be fun to take pictures of Chinook eyes. Koyuk immediately turned her head.

With the glaring sun, eye pictures were probably not my best photo idea. None of the dogs appear too happy when asked to look at the camera.

" Just too hot to sit and pose mom."

Only frog was ready for the "winter weather".
