Spring Creek Ranch, Winthrop WA
Greetings from Spring Creek Ranch, in Winthrop, Washington. It is April 10th and most of the snow in the valley bottom has melted off. The winter ski season, as pictured above in front of our cabin, seems far away. Spring continues to tempt us with occasional warm days, bringing temperatures well into the 60’s. But then again it seems to rain or snow every week still. The longer days have brought the wildlife back. Our Osprey pair, who hatched out their young on our property last year are back and we are hoping that they win their nesting spot back from the bald eagles who have become pretty aggressive.
New at the ranch. Daren just finished smoothing out the yard after some maintenance repairs and planted new grass. The garlic that we planted last fall is starting to come up and the crocuses and day lilies are making their annual appearance.
Our daughter Ayla is happy to have the snow gone. She spent the winter begging us to go skiing each day, but now that the air is soft and warm she would rather spend her time jumping on our trampoline and gathering eggs from our chickens. The four hens that wintered over are doing well, even though we are only getting 2 eggs a day. Curious, the rooster has become a bit more aggressive over the winter. We chose to keep him out of the other 9 roosters that ended up in rooster soup because he seemed so gentle and curious. Ahh, his demeanor seems to have changed with the weather and he goes after Ayla every time she goes in the pen.
Next big event at Spring Creek is the house painting. Stay tuned.
