So I went down to investigate. It was a crappie! Apparently a bird (could be a bald eagle since they are all moving back in. We have about 4 in the area swooping around) had caught his breakfast and as he was heading for his favorite tree to land in, his slippery tid bit got away....unfortunately for the fish he landed not in the river but in my yard. I am just glad that bald eagles don't catch larger things or else I would have to adopt the attitude of Chicken Little....or at least the latest Movie, but always my favorite book....Cloudy With A Change of Crappie???!!
It's time to get the seeds started here on the river. Terry is out in his 'New' garden shed with his plant starts. 
The shed is a 'recycle' from Emilys house in Boise. Terry 'pimped' it out by adding a window to turn it into a hot house. It is glorious in there this time of year. The temp averages about 90 during the day time sunny hours, but still gets down to low 30's over night. This summer it will probably spontaneously combust with all the sunlight that will go through that huge window to heat that little bitty space!! I will keep you all posted.
As we were hiking on the very top of the ridge, there was a grassy flat area that had all these sink holes in it. 
There is a whole are that looked as if a giant had made footprints in the soft earth...
The thing is, the grass is not dug out from the hole, and it is undisturbed except that it is sunken. Could it be a form of pingo? It's just a really weird area to have something this is frost heave related........very puzzling indeed.
Hazel is my hiking companion. She is a Wild Dog!!
Today I found the first spring flower in my yard. It is one of my spring crocuses. There were four or five of them bloomed out scattered at the edge of my flower bed. Forget what the calendar says...it's May already here on the river!!
