Do the Ducky!

It's been said that with the arrival of Spring comes a time of manifold possibility. Like these plastic baby ducks floating down a miniature river - a sideshow within a sideshow at the recent Cortez Fishing Festival -- the wide world is full of color and opportunity. Whether its pastel peeps wrapped in plastic at the grocery store or a pair of sandhill crane chicks stumbling behind their doting parents at a pond near you, here's a hearty welcome to Springtime and all that it brings! In the meantime, as the long hot summer dials in its approach course and the jumbled traffic of snowbird season starts to (thankfully) dwindle, may we all find our number in the jumble and win our own little slice of happiness - even if its just a few gobbled up peeps that don't survive the long trip home from the store! -- Paul Gonzalez Videla
