Well, I do believe spring has sprung in the Verde Valley. The nights still get chilly, with the coldest time right before sunrise, at about 30. Afternoons have been in the balmy 70's. When we ran out of propane, we realized we did not really need the heat on anymore :-) Around noon, I open the windows to warm up the house.
Our plum tree in bloom. No plums last year, so hopefully it will be prolific this season.
Took the boys rock hunting at the old salt mine over the weekend. I got a rock hounding book, and this spot is supposed to be a good one for some various minerals. I am so not a geologist, but like to collect the cool looking specimens :-)
The boys had fun with the shovel and picks.
We found a bunch of cool crystals. they were hard in the soft salty powder, and had to be dug out. When we got home and washed them, we realized they were salt crystals! LOL The boys were a little disappointed. They had high hopes of selling all the stuff on Ebay. Plenty more opps for riches in the future :-)

Our trees have also white stuff on them, but it's not blossoms. I only wish.
