Heart in the Clouds

 This morning we woke to sunshine for the first time in days! With all the humidity we have had, Heart Mountain looked like it was wearing a skirt.

In the closer photo you can see the new snow that has fallen in the last 48 hours. The meteorologists are predicting warmer weather later this week so maybe the spring snowmelt will finally begin.
A few days ago I mentioned that we try to stay away from the solitary female elk this time of year as they get ready to calf. Ironically it seems that every year there is at least one mama who comes to us when the big day arrives. Maybe they sense they will be safer from lions, bobcats and coyotes closer to our house. This mama has been pacing our back field for two days and left for higher ground with her newborn calf this morning!
