Easter Sunday

We had a great day at church celebrating our Lord's resurrection.  I'm so thankful I know Him and how much love He has for His children.  There are so many blessings from knowing Him that we'll spend all eternity thanking Him.  This evening we decided to drive up P77 and Big Cimarron.  We saw lots of elk and a few deer and our first drumming dusky grouse.  It was a great day!

Not as windy today and cooler.  59 here in town.  I went walking this afternoon up Hwy 90 to the Sunshine Ridge road.  It was 48 up there.  It was really nice heading downhill.  Coming back up it was quite warm as the sun was in my face and the breeze at my back.  I didn't see any critters but saw lots of deer and elk tracks that were fresh.  The road was mostly dry.  Iphone 15Pro

The mountains got over a foot of snow yesterday. We got .12” of rain here. Very meager. But, we needed the precipitation most in the mountains. This morning I walked around here a few miles. The wind was very strong even though it was warm. My ears were hurting by the time it was done…which never happens to me. This afternoon I went up to the forest boundary on Dave Wood to walk another couple miles. It was still very windy. I wore my earmuffs this time. It was too warm for them but I wore them anyway. I tried to take some videos but even with the heavy tripod it seemed shaky. We will see what they look like on the computer. I walked over the valley and onto the Simms side and had enough of that wind and headed back. The parking lot was slimy and the Jeep slid around a bit. It wasn’t bad walking though. Tonight we went to church. Ryan came and joined us. At bedtime the wind is still howling. It’s spring I guess. Haha
