… the conservation people trapped the first bear (this year) in our neighbourhood - rummaging in the garbage bags people set out the night before pick-up. Smart, lazy bear, dumb people!
… the yellow bellied marmots have awoken from their hibernation.
… just in time …
… to be a variation in diet for the coyotes, who are getting cheekier by the day
… the pheasants and quails try to help cleaning up the yard. Dumb as ever they forget about the two Huskies, which means more feathers to be picked up.
Yep, Spring has truly arrived in the Okanagan Valley. One more sign…
… a pair of ducks hanging out near the Pizza joint in our business array.
Nah, I didn’t ask the Conservation guys if the bear was grumpy and the marmots don’t whistle “Dixie” either, but Signs of Spring they are.
:lol: :lol:
Oh the other sign of spring … yesterday was members appreciation day at our XC area. Lots of fun, lots of laughs. Staff all decked out in really funny hats and one of my friends insisted that I wear his hat while he went skiing, a bit of a nuisance for skiing: a “Mad Hatter” contraption.
Another friend was of the opinion that we should have “mad hat day” more often.
“What do you mean, is any day, it’s a matter of attitude.” 
All the hats: recent imports from England. :lol:
PS. Tracks were really fast and narrow, would have enjoyed it even more if it weren’t for my aching back, but I wasn’t going to miss it. April Fool’s or no April Fool’s!
Back to the grindstone! Monday, Monday!
That darn HJ has been doing those nude dances again that Fr. Fred taught him…
