Big News

Just as I predicted, yesterday when we got home from the gym at 9:00 we could here birds....the river is breaking up, same day, same way as last year. I tell people all the time that the river is a living thing, just like the birds and the trees and yesterday was a big day for the creek. Lucky for us change is usually slow in life, it makes it all bearable but sometimes in nature things happen fast. So as I worked on the greenhouse I kept an eye out for just how the break-up was progressing. I took all four shots from the overlook below our house. The first was at 9:00 am yesterday, the second at 1:00 pm, the third at 6:00 pm and the last one 24 hours later at 9:00 am this morning. The view is the Big Eddy of course....pretty cool huh?

So its time of adjustment here at Mile 14, when we walk the Jet-dog we hear things, eagles and mallards and not just a few, there are hundreds and hundreds of ducks. We have fresh Bear skat in the parking lot so now its time to be careful.  We see the grass at the launch finally and can access what the voles have done over the winter and a walk through the property shows us how many beetle killed trees blew over while we were in Mexico....its a time of change and I LIKE IT !
