Today was a windy, rainy day. In the afternoon flocks of tule geese flew by all afternoon heading downriver towards Cook Inlet which is said to be their breeding grounds in the summer. Each flock had 50 to 100 geese in them and all total today we saw about a thousand go by. Very strange. We had never seen so many geese in one day. I wonder what had them on the move?

I love the Springtime sunrise views of Mt Susitna. This was taken yesterday morning. Today we've had heavy rain and high winds all day that is supposed to continue through tomorrow. We'll see what the river looks like after the sun comes out again. I bet a lot more of the river ice will be melted by then.

Is it a little early to get the 6 wheeler out?!

Mama moose walking through the yard. She'll be dropping a calf pretty soon.

The garden is still frozen in. We won't be planting anytime soon.

Bald eagles today - one sitting on the nest and the other sitting in a tree nearby. Babies on the way soon!

More water showing up on the river today. The temperature got into the 50's. It was more like water skiing than snowmachining!

Just last month we were riding the snowmachines right across all this water. It looks like a boat will be in our very near future.
