Here is what dogs having too much fun looks like. We were lucky to have family visit for a wedding and spend the day with us outside walking. In the front is Hilti our nephew’s black lab. Then curley Hurley our Retriever/Poodle mix in the middle. And lastly is Max the tricolor Swiss Mountain Dog/Pitt in the rear.

Nelson Creek Burn
The Nelson Creek Burn was a short 600 feet away from our own property last year before it was stopped. Many of us were evacuated and feared total loss but the fire crews are amazing and saved all the homes. Some outbuildings were lost but there was no loss of life other than wildlife. The charred stumps and burnt-out stumps are a good source of charcoal. Visibility between where the trees were is unusually open.
We went for a short walk to see how the land is doing. This video shows the extent of the devastation but it also shows the green coming back up this spring. Grasses and lots of wildflowers growing like mads. Wow!
