It's blooming spring!




Went for a walk yesterday up the Bizz. It was a little blustery so I was wearing a sweatshirt but it wasn't too cold. Some of the bitter brush is in full bloom it has a very sweet smell. As I was walking along I kept smelling that sweet smell and it must have looked kind of funny when I was going around smelling all the flowers to see which ones were causing it.I found a tree that had fallen down across the river which made a convenient bridge for me. There is an old road along this side of the river so I walked back into town on that road. There were couple of spots where you can get some good views of the trail so I took a picture from one of them. All in all it was quite a lovely day to be out.
This wild spring weather this year, although not at all unusual, is keeping me from doing the fishing that I normally like to do in early spring. Oh well, at least I'm not staying home struggling with a computer problem. I really love that!

Fun Stuff


Man, what a week! With the warming weather I got out and did all of my usual outdoor activities and a few more. I got quite a bit of fishing in at Antelope Lake, this cove is one of my old favorites. I was fishing up there yesterday and I caught 73 fish. I got into one area where I caught a crappie on every cast. You can't beat that... well, maybe they could have all weighed 5 lbs but I'm not complaining, mind you.












I also got in a long bike ride the other day. The weather was beautiful and everything greening up made it a special day. There were flowers blooming in between rocks that you couldn't see until you almost stepped on them. Spring is indeed a very lovely time of year around here.
