There is a hint of spring in the air!
The dogs didn’t want to stay in the house this morning, leaving around 5 :00 to hang outside and do dog things. I have asked them to come in a couple of times, but they just aren’t interested.
Today I head down to the Museum and Historical Society to work on transcribing one man’s many journals about his life. I’m on book three, there are 120 pages to each book.
He is one of the original settlers to our area, settling on Ash Mesa, which wasn’t named that when he applied for his homestead acres. It was so named after he applied — the mesa is named after him. His last name of Ash.
I am at the part where he and the other settlers of the mesa are starting to dig the Ironstone Canal to bring water to the mesa. (The Ironstone Canal is also the canal that brings water to our farm on California Mesa.)
Our sunrise this morning was outstanding!
It does have a hint of spring in the air….I do believe the dogs are on to something!

They are always worth rising early to see aren’t they we woke to a fluffy blanket of fresh snow.
easy to shovel and not enough to bother with the roof 
Today we can walk and take in the beauty as long as we don’t crash and burn on the ice just under it 
I hope you have gotten a lot of moisture this winter. ♥
I love to watch the seasons change in the sunrise…..they all have different qualities
Your sunrise is lovely..spring is in the air?? Good for you! I hope you had a great day at the museum!!
Heavenly ( literally) sunrise, LInda… how busy you are with all your activities which make such a dfference to everyone – dogs and people…
For you spring will come in a hurry. The sun rises early enough so that we still see a good sunrise.
Should be very interesting reading.
There is certainly here a very big HINT of Autumn in the air. As a matter of fact, I think Autumn
has already arrived.

I love that first hint of spring…if we’re lucky, it happens in mid-April. I’ve seen early May still have bare trees, though…
Wow, what a sunrise…almost makes getting up early in the morning a good thing!
Your dogs are onto something. Spring must be just around the corner.
What a very interesting way to spend your time Linda.
You have a fun job! I got to transcribe some of my grandma’s memoirs and I really enjoyed it. And I am very much looking forward to spring!!
