This morning I woke up before my alarm and couldn't go back to sleep so I got up and went jogging. It was a beautiful crisp but not cold morning and the mountains were brilliant. The air smelled like rain. The day turned out to be so mild with a warm breeze. I walked out on my grass where the snow is receding and noticed tracks running through the wet grass...voles (not moles) would be the culprit. Every spring I have the same guy come out to try to get rid of the voles. Maybe I should find a new guy because I don't think he's doing the trick. Even though the vole tracks gave me the heebie-jeebies, it still made me think refreshingly about spring time. I like this time of year right now. The promise of budding trees and flowers is near but I still don't have to worry about mowing my lawn, weeding, or hedging for a while (I like the winter hiatus from those jobs). I also ate my first Cadbury creme egg today. Is it me or are they making them smaller than they used to?
