Ready for Adventure

We're swinging into warmer weather (we hope) and someone I know is ready for adventure.

This summer we're hoping to get into the mountains, some hikes, swim and fish in lakes and small streams.

Can not wait.

Murphy's Day.

Happy Birthday Mom

I miss you.

My Classic Dog

Annie is a classic lab...totally built for being in the field.  And when she is active she is happy, another classic lab feature.

Having Willa around makes her more playful, which is great, except when she is in "thief" mode, stealing shoes!

More Blooms

While the southern aspect hill is blooming, there will be more Balsam in a few weeks on the north side...one continuous spring!

Can't wait to get there this afternoon!

Sisters

Annie is quite protective of Sage.  She worries about her, watches out for her, and wonders why Sage is up the road laying in the sun...

They have a great friendship.

Because I'm Happy!!!!

Sometimes I think I can hear Sage (or Annie or Willa) singing Pharrel's "Happy."

From Fire...

Several years ago a fire swept through Nahahum Canyon.  The gnarly wood in the foreground is a lovely Sage, yet to begin returning.

But the Balsam?  It thrives on fire.

What an amazing treat to be able to watch nature restore.  Happy Earth Day!
