Still wandering. Done melting.


The confluence of the Wood Mountain Road ditch and Osier Creek at it's finest.  

The winter snow has melted away.  Within a just a few weeks four feet of snow melted and flowed it's way down our new ditches.  I'm very pleased with how things went this spring.  We haven't had any major incidents.  The snow just melted and rolled down the hill just as we imagined it would.

Now the forest is once again alive with the sound of juncos, robins, black-capped chickadees and woodcocks.  Bears will soon awaken from hibernation.  The ground has thawed out to a point where we have begun to work the soil once again!



There's been a long standing joke between Amy and I on how often we've found ourselves wandering down some lonely remote dirt road.  Now that lonely remote dirt road leads us home...

  1. The road may be remote but you won't consider it lonely when home is at the end of it! Thanks for taking me on this journey with you.

    P.S. We miss you David.
