See that. Its spring. You have to look hard around here to see signs of it, but that is a definite sign. We went for a walk on our trail on the otherside of the river, and I found that. It was the *only* one blooming, but hey its a superb start.
And there were lots of these blooming.
Skunk Cabbage. Beautiful even if they have a terrible name. LOL
Rob has been working hard redoing our trail--getting the windblow and flood damage off of it, and extending it quite a lot. Yesterday my dad came out, and we took him hiking on it, and doing some more work. Today is pay day, and tomorrow I will get him another claw. This tool was invaluable last summer in clearing the small junk off the trail. This as I said last fall is Rob's hobby. He's so enjoying being able to get back there.
Jeremiah hiked almost all of it, even with all of the little junk on it. He even took several side explorations. LOL I think the whole trail when its finished will be about 3/4's of a mile. It rambles along the river, through the woods, meets up with our creek, follows it, and then reconnects with the river. In the summer time their will be a bridge to get across. It however will wash away each winter, and has this winter. So at the end of the hike rather then walking all the way back to the car where we started.
We waded the river.
BRRR!!!!!

You live in the coolest place!!!
All is good except the ice water you waded in. Oh, my aching bones and muscles!!!
i'll bet that water was c-o-l-d! looks like y'all had lots of fun on your hike - pretty flowers (even with a bad name!)!
I'm not sure why you think 'skunk' cabbage is a bad name since they smell just like skunks when they are blooming, silly! I keep hoping spring is on its way here too... but there is snow expected today. We got a new old offer on our house to close on the 31st. It would be nice if it does. We are praying it does
Atlast, some sign of spring.....it must be wonderful, interesting and relaxing to have property like that to hike on and enjoy the outdoors. In Central Washington in Douglas County, we are semi-arrid, no forests, etc. Can a move a piece of your land to my place?
And the Earth wakes up again.
