I know it seems hard to believe. Like you I think of charging wild animals of something out of Africa or perhaps the far north. The sort of on the edge of adventure that not even rural living provides. Yet last Thursday afternoon the adventure arrived.
Each spring I write as different species of birds have arrived back from their winter vacations. A few hawks first, then the turkey vultures. Ducks and geese follow the retreating ice and woodcock arrive soon after. The bluebirds have arrived and we are waiting for the last and most colorful wave the warblers.
Yes it is wet and dreary today but preparation for spring fishing trips is moving ahead. The cover is now off of the 20 foot Lund Alaskan and the annual spring washing started. Fitting out with safety equipment and charging the batteries tomorrow.
