The crocus are coming up. (Along with the weeds–see picture.) Pruning is very much underway. We go outside and don’t need large coats. It feels a lot like spring. But it is February and still very much winter. At least it’s a warm winter.

Yesterday we went hiking up Rock Canyon in Provo. It is not spring up the canyon. With the cover of mountain walls, there was plenty of snow and cold. The hike was good. It was a compacted snow trail, pretty uneventful. The views were nice, but not particularly inspiring. It was a great workout. I’m not exactly sure how far we went, (I forgot the map) but we were booking it the two hours we were out. We could have made four miles total, but probably more like three. And if you noticed in the picture, it completely disrupted Peter’s nap schedule. Same thing happened today (this time because of church not hiking). Naps are needed so small child does not get ornery. But he is still such a fun kid.
