It's Baaack!

Snow, that is.

April in Colorado can be erratic. Today it's snowing huge, wet flakes that are threatening to bury my just-planted violas.

But last Sunday was sunny and in the 60s, a perfect day for the Denver Botanic Gardens. Bordered on one side by a neighborhood of old, European-style homes, the Gardens are hosting "the first major open-air Henry Moore exhibition in the Western United States." The contrast between the massive statues and the fragile spring flowers and budding trees was delicious.

And looking at the pictures again almost makes me believe that spring is here. Or was here.
