The Wash

This is a snippet of the wash back behind our property a ways.  It is a constant flow of clean spring water and snow melt coming off the mountains behind us.  The water runs under the plant life.

Running the Dogs

Brodie and Titus are litter brothers. Titus belongs to Kelly but he hangs with our pack a lot of the time.

The Moose on the Loose.

The Great Gray Owl.

The guys who come out monthly to read the power meter told us that a great gray owl could often be seen camped out in our porch rafters.  We saw him a couple of times.  He's massive.

They are the largest of the owls.  Thier wing span can be 5 feet.  I would say sounds about right judging by the poopie left behind....about the size of a sandwich plate.  Well, he won't be bunking in the rafters anymore. 

The rising sun.

The morning sun coming up over the horizon in the northeast.

Here's a poem Raz wrote me.

With you I will watch the sun go down
 and even hold your hand

With you I'll share a morning cup
and think about a plan

With you I'll watch the mountain Jay
as he tries to steal our food

With you we'll build a nice retreat
in our special neighborhood

With you I think we stand a chance
to make it all work out

Without you, I would be lost,
of that I have no doubt
