Bald eagles, coyotes, fishing, and snow fun

The family visit is done - how sad. Great weather all week, lots of skiing and snowboarding done (but not by moi), and we even had an extra visitor - Lisa! She hopped over to surprise us and stayed a couple of days while doing some work as well. Met with store owners in Crested Butte. Very efficient use of time, I'd say.

The snow is melting like crazy, and it's much more like the end of April than March, people here say. We don't know - never been here at this time of year, so it's all a surprise. Heard owls, sandhill cranes were circling around our mountains, saw robins,coyotes out and about, bald eagles eating,and the bluebird pair is settling in around our deck. Seems springy to me.

I have a fishing report - shouldn't if there was normal snowfall, but have one nonetheless. Mark and Paul spent all one day fishing, but alas caught nothing. Apparently, it's really hit or miss at this time of year. Fun to try though.

We drove up to Taylor Reservoir and no ice fishing going on at all. Ice getting a little thin? Hog trough was packed with fishermen. Mark saw a big fish landed while standing there.

The basement finishing project is full on and our builder is starting this week. What a job organizing and moving everything out of there. It's all in the garage at the moment until things are done - a month maybe.
