It's definitely a time for the birds, as we receive more moisture---especially for those who like water.
Neighborhood domesticated ducks and wild ducks and noisy geese suddenly seem ubiquitous.
Hard to look anywhere here in the countryside without seeing or hearing them.
Add to that a lone turkey, which I saw this morning quietly walking along the fence line between the Lovestead and the Meserve Preserve.
My first thought: hope it doesn't procreate and decide to take up residence here.
I had enough of turkeys last year and wouldn't mind a break this spring, summer and fall.
The only consolation, if they pick our place as their home, is that Bridie has become fairly adept at chasing them off.
We've been gifted two more lovely days---today and tomorrow, and I don't want to sound like a broken record, but it's been fun working outside.
More of that today.
Tomorrow, though, I'll be doing some socializing, as you'll read about below.
By golly, my friends Becky and Ann and daughter-in-law Debbie made the front page of the local paper this morning.
Becky and Ann attended the Empty Bowl luncheon last March, and they'll be coming again tomorrow.
Below you'll see a link to a wonderful story about the annual project designed to raise money for the Bonner Community Food Bank, where Debbie has been the executive director for a number of years.
You'll notice at the end of the article some information about where and how you can donate to the food bank if you can't make to tomorrow's festive affair.
Several groups within the community, including the Sandpoint High art students who crafted the bowls and numerous restaurants, are collaborating this wonderful event.
Becky Reynolds, Debbie Love and Ann Gehring.
I had to take a picture of the cute little guy below. It's the first pine squirrel I've seen at the feeders.
Usually the town squirrels dominate.
Enjoy the photos and do enjoy some music while you scroll. 💚💜💙
The whimsical Balloon lady at a Bonner County Fair a few years ago.
Bill in Chicago.
Naomi Wood and her mother-in-law Virginia Wood.
My friend and former student Mitch who recently celebrated a birthday.
Always a fun lady.
Bob.
We first met Bob when we visited my friend Jean aka Mow in Kansas City back in the early '80s.
For several years he has resided in Palm Springs with Mow.
He sometimes joins in on our telephone conversations.
Debbie and Annie on a yacht in Chicago.
Chef extraordinaire Shelley who has delighted many a tastebud at the old Garden Restaurant and at Western Pleasure Guest Ranch.
Most of the Brown family cousins a few years back.
When Annie brought her Seattle friends for an ICE (Idaho Cultural Experience) weekend a few years ago, several had the opportunity to learn how to use a gun and do a little target practicing.
Some Chicago family on a Lake Michigan cruise a few years ago. The cruise was part of a wake for two family members.
Below: Mauri Brooks Knott who grew up on a farm in Priest River. She now lives in Moscow.
These two were helping Jim and Virginia Wood celebrate a significant wedding anniversary a few years ago.
I think it was their 70th, and now the Wood family patriarch and matriarch have celebrated 75 years.
Below my Bill and my brother Kevin enjoying some fly fishing near Ephrata, Wash.
The lady on the left, Wilma, was celebrating her 100th birthday.
These signs, which are all over Ireland, have always been almost misleading: leading me, the bathroom queen, to think there's a toilet near by.
