Those little scamps.
Getting to be that (firstest) perfect kinda weather-time of the year again. Oxygen and leaves - fresh leaves! - rich in the air.
A nice boulder sesh (!1) replete with big loose pitbulls (erm-aherm, it's a mixed-breed) and strong bird-boned whippersnappers today. Spring is about.

The spring has yet to warm up the northeast a dusting of snow at five forty.
The snow is gone by ten but slicks out some of the approaches.
Fresh rock and great temps for the high end sends, above? my pay scale
I have to clean and try . . .

If I'm wearing a T-shirt and pushing a lawnmower, it must be summer, not spring.
This year in the PNW, most of winter felt like spring

Red Breasted House finches have been nest building for a couple of weeks - about a month early in a "normal" year.
Put tomato and pepper starts in the garden last week. Radishes are already up and showing shoulders...again, about a month early.
Going up to Arnold Meadows next weekend to help get the water system started for the area - usually we do this around mid-May - but since temps at 5200 feet have been in the 70s daytime and 40s overnight - we agreed that the freeze time has come and gone for this winter.

It's been a long time, good to see them.
Kinda remembered Starkweather both with and without a crew cut.
Anyway, with regards to the news of strange.
The Associated Press says 70-year-old Caril Clair of Stryker, Ohio, was critically hurt and her 81-year-old husband Frederick Clair killed late Monday in a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 69 in Calhoun County’s Tekonsha Township, 70 miles south-southeast of Grand Rapids.
As a 14-year-old, then-Caril Fugate and her 19-year-old boyfriend Charlie Starkweather went on a killing spree in Nebraska and Wyoming in 1957-58 that claimed the lives of Fugate’s mother, stepfather, 2-year-old sister and eight others.
Both Starkweather and Fugate were arrested in Douglas, Wyoming, following the spree, in 1958. Starkweather was sentenced to death by electric chair, Fugate was sentenced to life in prison. She was paroled in 1976.
