An evening rainbow: a sign of good things to come

We've been finally getting some rain! Whereas this might not seem like a good thing at first, this will be great for the marmots. As we reported in our last blog entry, this has been a hard winter for our marmots and they have been patiently waiting for the growing season to begin.

We have been now had several rain showers and things are finally getting really green here. Tonight, we even had a rainbow over Mount Crested Butte--a.k.a. Mount C.B. If you look carefully, then you'll be able to see it above the mountain, right above the pot of gold!
