Magic times at Star Mt. How lovely it is to be back. Life feels so normal here and peaceful. In town it's a bit different - masks on and social distancing. Our little area was hit hard by the virus and all precautions are in place. Numbers are small right now and have not gone back up so far - crossing fingers.

Saw Flap the very first day we were back. So happy to see her. Quite the elderly doe at this point - at least 12 years old. Good for her Lots of animals out and about: deer,elk, grouse, plus a first time visit from a bear dumped over community trash bins. Hummingbirds came back right away and we have had to put up all four feeders. Could be a busy summer.
Flowers are out two weeks early this year. "Normal" winter and snowfall so hard to say why.
A lot of trout were delivered to our community pond. We lost all the previous fish over the winter, just as we had the winter before. Sad. We have already deepened the pond so next is probably an aerator. Feeding the newly arrived fish for a couple weeks lands in our lap. It's kind of semi nasty pellets - just ground up other fish, corn meal, and who knows...
We happened to arrive in Crested Butte at the very moment the graduation car parade started. All graduations everywhere are a strange affair in this time of the virus. Crested Butte school is a national award winning one and has a graduating class of 45. Small town living.

Thrilled to be here even if it means outdoor celebrations are cancelled and visitors are few and far between. Nature rules here and it's gorgeous.
