Came through a good bit of rain. It was welcome. In the mountains it was snow.
We planned a trip into the high country last Wednesday, but postponed it to this coming Wednesday. The youngsters from work were disappointed. I didn’t welcome trudging through a foot of wet snow on the mountain side. The truth is I’d end up sliding on my ass coming down trying to dig my heels in yelling whoa!! It can be fun, but I’m too damn old for such hijinks. I didn’t want to lose face so told them the scenery would be better when it cleared.
The doe deer are busy with their fawns. A few days ago I freed a fawn that got caught in fencing. Today Jack shooed one from the pool court back to its mother. It was held up under patio furniture and was starting to gather quite a crowd of guests. Jack said he had done it plenty with lambs back in England. He is a good man that Jack.

Some warm weather is expected. The recent rain has done its best to cool the bush. That’s more than we can ask.

Amazing you’re still getting snow – is it because your mountains are so high? Sometimes our snow stays in our mountains in Scotland until mid Summer or even all year but we don’t usually get any new snow in summer.
We’re getting bits of rain now – not often I’d say this but we need it now…

We can get snow in any month in the mountains. It doesn’t last however. It wouldn’t take much prolonged cold weather for the glaciers to rebuild.
