A Spring Walk Before the Cold Weather Returned

We had a really beautiful day , a few days ago.

So Teddy and I headed out on the property to

see what was happening. The periwinkle was

popping up on the hillside. I remember planting over 1000

starts 20 some years ago. My knees still hurt when I think of it.

Come on mom you are moving to slow.

Our favorite place to sit and listen to the creek in the summer.

I see the ferns need some cleaning up.

Our little creek crossing has withstood

the elk this winter.

The watercress has once again taken hold near 

the little waterfalls. We really have to control it

or it takes over. It is a great filter for the water though.

That small white thing (Teddy) is way ahead

of me going up our long, long driveway. I

planted these weeping cedars 18 years ago from 1 gallon

containers. They are huge now and have survived the elk.

No real flowers to show yet as it has been so cold. We had

snow just above us last night. Brrrr! Nap time....
