I went out to Pawnee Grasslands this morning, near the intersection of Wyoming, Nebraska and Colorado. The primroses are starting to pop up everywhere, and in a few weeks will carpet the ground like snow.

On the way back I saw about 30 Pronghorn Antelope and several newborn foals, which couldn’t have been more than a day or two old. A few more mares looked like they were ready to deliver at any time.

The photo above is looking across towards Longs Peak, which has about 120% of normal snow cover according to USDA. Note that the trees around the lake have still not leafed out  as of May 12, which is about six weeks late.

Climate experts say that global warming brings an early spring, and is going to kill us all.
