Ah ha! 1-3

Our first "sighting" of a raccoon.  We had seen their foot prints in the frost on the deck one morning, but have yet to see one in person...we figured they were here somewhere and this one practically smiled.


Today was weirdly warm, sunny, and springlike...nothing we can do about it except enjoy it!  Larry went on his hike in a short sleeved shirt and I was out in the garden getting a little "dewy" while pulling up dead plants...it was just a gorgeous wonderful day and after the last few cold, cold winters we are loving it.  I opened windows and let the fresh air waft through the house for a few hours.  On the news today I saw the winter snow pack check for water content and the guy was walking through dry grasses to a patch of snow....not a good sign, but they aren't worried yet.   Larry was looking at a picture of Google earth from last June and there was more snow on the mountains then than there is now.
