Springtime in the Rockies brings an intensified round of moods from Momma Nature. Flesh long-buried beneath layers of winter-wear gets a chance to revel in sunshine and fresh air. Bikes replace ice tools and skis – but wait…! The winter sport toys are NOT packed away just yet because each day could bring rock climbing or biking or a full-on blizzard with fresh tracks in the snow.

I pretty much like all of it – but admit my own moods often reflect Momma Nature’s. Quite a flux of emotion; flurries and fun, grumps and gunk.
