Spring has finally come to Panguitch. The snow has melted but the wind is still blowing. I was sitting on my front deck this afternoon and watched as a dust devil made a direct hit on me. My cats scattered, I held my book down and waited for the wind to go next door. It was a powerful little devil.

Trees are finally starting to bud and my bulbs are sprouting. I love spring when I can check all my green things and see who survived the winter. My rhubarb is even starting to grow. Rhubarb always reminds me of my Mother. She made a wonderful rhubarb and strawberry pie. I never learned how to make it and even if I had it wouldn't be as good as hers.
