Carl and Debra Ann and the kids are here staying in their cabin to the east of us. Went for a nice early morning walk with Carl and Andrew the other morning. Went up to the overlook and the "tent" tree. Andrew climbed around in the tree for awhile. Wish I had had this tree in my back yard as a kid. I would have lived in it probably. Did not get to see any elk on our walk though. The elk are bedding down in the trees early now days to avoid all the horse and deer flies that have hatched out. Miserable creatures they are.
Last week Connie found herself on the ground when her young horse Peg spun out from under her. She has a few bruises on her back side, but is doing well. She also had a sore back, but that also has pretty well gone away. And she is back riding so that is good.
The wildflowers are still blooming around here. When we have a wet spring, we get lots of flowers just like the rest of the world. Should be taking my camera with me more when I walk, but usually just carry my binoculars. Made an exception today as I was only doing a short walk and got a few pictures of some new flowers.

The grasses are all headed out now. Some foxtail with a crested wheat grass.
The lupine is in full bloom now.
This grass is called "needle and thread" and we are always picking it out of Zeus's hair.
A nodding onion just about in full bloom.
The flower Clarkia which we don't see very often, but this spring is pretty abundant.
