Gorgeous weather has arrived here. We think, for no good reason really, that the late winter white stuff is done. We've been hauling up outdoor furniture for the deck, since it's warm enough to sit out. Both hummingbird feeders are busy, busy with hummingbirds so I had to duck my head arranging furniture while they buzzed by. And the silly pair of orioles are still hanging out drinking sugar water.(photo courtesy of Mark this time - the orioles will not sit still for me)
Saw our first deer back in the woods walking yesterday morning. We'd already scared a bunch of elk on the way. The elk are much more skittish than the deer - don't know why...
Mark caught a record size rainbow trout yesterday (his biggest ever in CO) 22inches and fat. He didn't take a picture (since I have absconded with his camera) but does have a witness - our friend Steve, who actually took him down to this area of Spring Creek. Thanks Steve!
Had our first aged beef here at Star Mt. Yummy, yummy as usual with Mark's caramelized onions & blue cheese. Yes, one of the first things on the list when we got here was to buy a little rack and cheesecloth for beef preparation. Really difficult prep too, takes all of a minute to wrap the steaks in the cheesecloth and plop on the rack in the frig.
A record fish!! That's terrifiC Congrats Mark!!
ReplyDeleteWow, lots of fast changes in weather and wildlife! How fun!
Ok, but have you signed up to get some of that good local beef to dry age??
ReplyDeleteYay for the fish!
