Twin fawns were spotted having their first adventure out onto grass this week.  Mom with her watchful eye brought them just far enough out of the undercover that we humans got to see them and experience the baby fawn excitement that seems to travel with them.  If you do get the opportunity to see the new twins out on the meadow please do NOT chase them.  We want them to stay with mom so she can protect them and teach them lessons they need to know for survival.

After several days of rain the forest is now sporting beautiful new foliage with every color of green visible by the human eye; ah, Spring!

Summer is near, flock of RV's have returned.

Tomorrow is Join Hands Day at camp.  We will be removing invasive species so they do not invade the Middle Fork Valley.  I want to thank all of the hands that are here for all of the hard work that this project needs. At the end of the day a small group of us will be planting some native plants to replace all of the ones that have been pulled and dug up.  Please feel free to come and join us.  The project starts at 9 am and will end at 11.

The plum tree is in full bloom and the humming birds, woodpeckers and swallows are back reminding us that spring is coming or maybe it's here.  Count all of your Blessings and thank God for the BIGGEST gift of all, His son.  Blessed Easter to you one and all.

The humming birds are back and they brought the swallows along with them.  It has been fun to stop the yard cleanup and watch the birds decide where to nest for the season.  The plum tree isn't quite ready to bloom but a couple more warm days and it will.  The elk are very curious of all the activity that the tractors and chipper have been doing and come to inspect the jobs that are done at the end of the day.  Now it is time for the campers to come and also enjoy the blossom of spring.
