| Baby Sasquatch??!!! |
I am so envious of these photos! That young bull moose just walked into Claudia's yard. Her dog alerted her but didn't bark and chase it away. Larry and Elsie's photos are from their trail cam by their pond. If that's a baby Sasquatch - where's mama??!! Sure glad we're waayyy up at the top of the canyon. A big thanks to Claudia and Elsie for sending them to me.
We have had scattered clouds and wind most of the week, but good for working outside. The canyon seems to have an infestation of tent caterpillars this year. We always have a few but right now almost every bush on our south ridge is covered with them. Larry suggested using melathion, so when we went Down There on Saturday we bought some. Unfortunately we don't have a big sprayer, so we are using a quart spray bottle. Took a while, but I think we got them all.
The Farmer's Market is more diverse than in the past few years with live music and crafters. Still early for much veggies and fruit, but I did get some local honey from Leavenworth. I'm sure we'll be back during the summer. Got a great photo of a buck and doe on the drive down our road.
I started cutting the two piles of branch wood that we hauled up last November, and got five wheelbarrow loads stacked in the woodshed. JB got three sides of the mulch frame built and will finish it today. Then I will move the two piles I have going into it along with some cardboard. It will mainly be the long grasses I cut, no kitchen scraps. Don't want to invite unwanted guests. We have so much natural mulch around. We're checking the garden every day for any sign of little green sprouts. Yes, I know it's only been two week, but. . .
