Yes. That’s a question. Spring comes to Wyoming, but not with the official change of seasons and not like it does back east. It comes in the form of branding, mud on our boots, and people switching from snow mobiles to 4 wheelers. Eventually we’ll have the color green. But for now it is spitting snow and the trees are just beginning to show signs of growth. Flowers will come to the low country soon, balsamroot will carpet the moraines. The snow is melting in the mountains, but spring is still a month away up high.
We moved out of our duplex and are now living in a house with two aquatic center summer interns. We’ll be here for 3 months. Everyone knows we are planning to leave, even though we tell them it’s not set in stone. We love it here, even with the issues the place faces. Even with the backwards bumper stickers that say “welcome to wyoming… now go home” and “my wyoming has an east infection”. No matter, we feel at home here.
We’ve been fishing and hiking and climbing. We took a trip to southern Utah and visited Zion and friends down there. I went off to a conference in Boulder Colorado and Jenn has started her summer season with the BLM. We are one payment away from owning our home in Kentucky. All this to say we’ve been busy and i’ve neglected this blog in order to post 2 sentance updates on facebook. I hope to change that. Stories are meant to be told in more than a tweet or status update.
So as spring looms in wyoming, I hope this blog comes out of it’s winter hibernation and gets much busier with more tales of adventure.
