Spring takes a step forward!

Yesterday's post was about snow, and today's post is about sunshine, because that's the way we roll in Colorado Springs. Friday started out with snow, accompanied by tremendous booms of thunder that seemed to last forever. Eventually the snow gave way to rain, then by noon it was sunny and warm. Even by Colorado Springs standards, the weather was weird! Of course by nighttime it had gone chilly and rainy again, so who knows how today's weather will play out. But I certainly enjoyed the brief few hours of sunshine during the afternoon. Here's a reminder that spring will eventually prevail. I found these cheerful tulips in front of a beautiful old Craftsman home on Nevada Avenue in the Old North End, just north of Van Buren Street. You can see the remnants of Thursday's snowstorm on the lawn beyond the white picket fence. I won't kid myself that we won't see another snowstorm before winter takes a bow, but it's sure nice to see some signs of life here and there!
