Spring has invaded the Missoula valley. Life is everywhere as the leaves pop from their buds on the tree branches. They offer a source of food for the wild life that roams throughout the city. Just the other day, I passed a herd of deer gorging themselves on the campus bushes. Everywhere I look, the cycle begins again. As I gaze into the mountains, I see the retreating snow line. On warm and sunny days such as today, the pink light of twilight reflects off of the snow fields on Lolo Peak to the southwest and Stuart Peak to the north. In those moments, the snow looks as if it is ablaze with the power of the day's waning sun.
Winter is in its death throes. Yes, spring pours its abundant wealth and life liberally upon the earth!
