And the big melting begins - for real. Temps in the high 40's make for rapidly emerging ground. Gunnison has virtually no snow on the ground. We have a lot of snow at Star Mt., so it will take awhile (weeks!) before we see the surface. Late snow is sure to happen, but will disappear in a fast heartbeat. Mud, mud, mud..
Visiting Secret Stash a couple of times in the last week means we've got the scoop on the impending move. June 18th projected opening and
not more seating (putting two stories into one larger single story ) but double the size kitchen. Trying to replicate the eclectic interior decorating (the owner's purchases from trips to 62 countries) and make cozy seating areas. We'll see...
Last nordic skiing day for us. Warm temps causing ground to pop up in places and the tracks pretty non-existent. Ah well, we definitely made the most of the winter this year along with having lots of company to enjoy it with.
Getting quieter in town (CB) Had lunch at Mexicali Grill which is staying open through off season. They all make an individual decision, most saying no.
Eagles soaring, fox and coyote out and about, lots of bluebirds and robins chirping. Note to self, take the old bluebird nest down from under the deck soon. Old story, but bluebirds abandoned that nest and two years in a row, a pair of less than intelligent robins used this much too tiny nest. Results: eggs falling out and baby birds falling out. Let me help you, you silly things.

Books read: Rhys Bowen -Naughty in Nice, George Sibley -Dragons in Paradise, and Julia Spencer-Fleming - Out of the Deep I Cry - all good. Two out of the three are continuing series, and George Sibley is a long time local CB guy. Very thought provoking book on his experiences here, doing everything from caretaker at the biological lab to owning the CB newspaper, to professor at Western, and being a bum in between. Just a day in the life here...
Next post from Reston with Miss Penny.
