I know the picture above may not seem like much, but for those of us who are living on this mountain, it means spring is here. These little buds are bluets. They will start popping up around camp and that is how I know spring has arrived. I look for these every year about this time. I had to look hard today. They were hiding under a tree. After the bluets show up, I will start looking for trillium. We do have a couple around the kitchen that I love to see every spring.
Yesterday was a beautiful spring like day. The high was 51º. There were hikers roaming all over the mountain. It was a great day to sit on our back porch, enjoy the view, and the soak up some vitamin D. We are currently looking at clouds today. It is not looking promising for a repeat of yesterday.

So what are the trails like today? Ice? Snow? Muddy? Precautions? Bears?

Thanks to the LeConte crew for an enjoyable stay on the 15th. It was great in spite of the weather.

My friends and I hiked up to the lodge today in the rain. It was our second trip up and well worth enduring the rain. Since we weren't staying overnight, we just had time for coffee and snacks before we started back down. We all agreed that the chocolate oatmeal peanut butter cookies were the best we'd ever eaten! Would you share that recipe, please? Thanks, Margaret Williams Comments are closed.
