Memorial Day Trip

Grant and I took the kayaks out to Snake Lake today before it got too full of lily pads.  It was a beautifully perfect day!  We paddled past a beaver dam and watched a pair of pelicans mating (from a distance). 

A Day on Table Mountain

Just above Oroville, California, Table Mountain is such a great place to hike, fly kites, let your dog run around, picnic, or even swim!!!  Kyria was up for a visit, so we all decided to meet and hike.

A fun day in Oroville

Grant and I spent the night with Dorothy & Jeffery, then drove down on Sunday morning (April 1st) to watch Jeffery run a 5k race.  From there we joined friend Dick at the Iron Grille restaurant for a much needed breakfast.  Following that, we went over to the Bolt Antique Tool Museum and the Chinese Temple.  It was a lovely day out!  Everything is so green down in the valley compared to up in Quincy, where I still barely have crocus, hyacinth, catnip, and mint coming up.

The Chinese Temple

The docent, Bill, looks at a strange tool Jeffery brought with him to find out if we could discover what it was.

Juncos on the roof!!!

I sprinkle black sunflower seed on the roof below my upstairs bedroom window and here's what I captured this morning.  Endless entertainment!

A snowy Sunday morning

I love the blue light of a snowy early morning...and the way the snow sticks to the trees...and the brave little juncos who will go to any lengths for sunflower seeds!
