Down by the river at the folks' place the ice went out on May 21st and as the water rushes by so do entire trees that have been uprooted from the banks upriver. Fast flowing and very cold. No swimming here yet.
There is a nesting pair of Bald Eagles that have returned to their summer time nest just across the river and I am fairly certain that this is evidence of their supper snack. Feathers from a grouse are stuck in the rose bush and cover the ground.
Do you notice that the trees have not leafed out yet? We have had a slow start to spring this year and there is still (was) plenty of snow in the shade.
We spent this first day of the four day weekend helping to repair the hot water maker in the guest cabin for Mom. She closes the guest cabin down for the winter and there always seems to be something to fix come spring time. It was great to hang out with Mom, visit and be treated to her wonderful cooking.
