Is It Spring Yet?

It only takes a couple of sunny days to clear the snow and ice off the paved roads on the Mesa, except for those areas with trees, of course.  But I have my own measurements as to when springtime has really arrived on the mesa.  Yesterday, as I was coming back from town I saw the first bicycle rider pumping hard to get up the North Rd. hill.  I looked at the thermometer on my car dash and it said 45 degrees.  Yikes!  SHE must think that it's springtime.  My other measuring method is the road that goes to my house.  I'm sure many residents can relate, considering some of the long driveways up here.  When the road starts to look like the photo attached, I figure we're on our way!

But the very best measurement simply has to do with light.  Yep, there's just something that changes (overnight, sometimes) when the sun moves just enough to change the way everything looks on the mesa.  There's a freshness, a brightness...it just kinda says "New".
​And I'm ready.

    As the Owner & Publisher at Over The Hill Media,LLC and a Grange supporter, I was drafted to make sure that Redlands Rumours have the i's dotted and the t's crossed AND that they contain at least some modicum of local fact.  I'll do my best ;)
