While we've been enjoying nice weather,watching the greening up of everything, and the massive thawing goes on, we still were caught off guard by blocked roads. We tried to check out Spring Creek Reservoir - saw big horn sheep on the way, and Mark threw a line in just for fun, but snow blocked our way up. Amazing to have this much snow still around...
Everywhere is still so quiet. I am the only car on the road quite often. In CB the restaurants are just now starting to open preparing for the tourist season. We met friends Steve and Gail at Mcgills for breakfast Sunday with the place half empty. That is actually something to relish, in the summer the line is out the door...
We walked through our woods for the first time. It's been a snow packed,muddy mess up until recently. It's a magical place with a life all its own.. We think fox and coyote have babies in their dens right now. Startled a red tail hawk while we meandered. They nest high up in the aspen in the same place every year. No deer yet but soon we expect. Chippies are everywhere and the bluebirds are building a nest under our deck right where they did last year. And yes, the hummingbirds are back. Let the sugar water madness begin.
The giant group of elk have gone missing. We've only seen a few since the day they covered the next hill over. I'm counting on seeing their new babies in a few weeks. They better come back. I want things to be exactly as they have been over the last two summers. Pretty silly of me I know...
