We've had a big red fox out hunting in our field for the last couple of evenings. Raven sure lets us know its there.. I'm not so sure I didn't see a wolf run across the road early one morning out near the creek on the way to Jackson. It was a very dark color, but disappeared so fast and at such a distance, it could have been a coyote. Just didn't look quite right though.
It's a warm, calm and sunny day. About 30 degrees in the shade as I write in the early afternoon. Those old Muddy Hills are turning more brown, as its finally warm enough to melt off some of the snow from the rocks. All the snow and ice has come off the roofs in the last several days. "Spring-like". At the moment anyway. This morning I've been thinking of spring cleaning and a mom and her daughter in Pinedale have started a house cleaning business, so I'm really considering having them come out when the weather gets good and cleaning each room top to bottom. I've never had a house cleaner in my life, so it's about time to experience that luxury. And the house does need a deep cleaning. That should let us easily just spiff things up ourselves for a year or so.
Took a walk down the road with the dogs. We went as far as out of the gate, a little more than a mile. That is the furthest I've gone, as yet. Was able to walk on a line of bare dirt for a lot of the way. And could smell that odor of damp spring earth. Got too warm on the way home even. Dogs had a great time. Very quiet and relaxed otherwise. Doing a little reading. Joe's watching basketball games.
Yesterday I got calls from Sheral - was sorry to learn she has been very sick -and Edis called too, so was glad to have a nice visit with her. They are looking for a new house there in Bozeman.
FEEL BETTER SOON, SHERAL.

Sounds like you really had yourself a nice day! We have had some really warm days lately too. The kind you can't get enough of after the winter storms.
You just go ahead and enjoy the luxury of having someone deep clean your house for you. I tried doing that on a bi-weekly basis after Hans died, and I was still working. It cost too much for the job I got. It wasn't a personal business though, I should have known better.
I started spring cleaning today too. However, that wasn't actually my plan. I have had some boxes in my living room for practically forever. They are boxes I have brought home from storage to sort through and use, give away, or throw out. These are things still from my mother's home. You'd think I'd finished all that by now.
By just moving the boxes upstairs, when I vacuumed the carpet up there, (to put the boxes on), I decided that the carpet pieces were just too old and worn to keep, (Or take the time to clean), so rolled them up and carted them down the stairs and out to the trash container. Did that twice. Then I thought I was going to set up the "stored" bed up there, (more room for the boxes), but found it needed repair, so it will have to wait. I did finally get the boxes carried up. All but one, and it was just too heavy, so it is in a corner by the antique safe, and might just get a doilie. When the boys are home, they can finish up the heavy stuff.
I still have to finish vacuuming the living room. While I hate to admit it, I could go from thing to thing and never be finished. Each thing starts another project. You know, like the "Oldtimer's" jokes you get in your email all the time. (And don't say I'm the only one old enough for that kind of mail.)
Love, ~J~
Um ... you don't suppose Betty would let me make a sketch of that neat picture of her horse do you?
Hum, huh???
