More white stuff falling out of the sky, and camping plans



Snow is baack... What craziness is this?  So happy Mark was here to experience this week's deck shoveling. Everything melts off quickly and the grass and flowers keep on popping out anyway.



The poor hummingbirds though. They tried to feed but it was a rough go. They're probably regretting leaving Mexico for this. Surely we're about done.





Egg pick up at the farm today. Animals out and about. The Great Pyrenees dog was off duty today. The farm has two and they protect the chickens from foxes etc...
Saw the first deer at Star Mt. yesterday and four more were in our woods this morning. It's great they're coming back but whoops, my daffodils are just now forming buds. Maybe the deer won't notice...
And in anticipation of the summer to come, we have ordered a tent. Oh, yes, we are going to try camping. I can't believe I'm excited about this, after nixing that as an option for a million years. (I think it might have been 1974 when we last did this). Now this is not days of backpacking carrying your own gear camping (I'm not that crazy) but taking the Rock, aka the jeep, and bouncing up to out of the way places with beautiful vistas. Should be lots of fun - I'll let you know...
