Frosted Hills in Front of the Ranch Yesterday. 
Let Sleeping Dogs LieHeavy rain and overcast this morning. Still cool. Surely the snow is still piling up in the mountains. Today we go to Pinedale to the cemetery.
We've sure had a lot of birds in the yard lately. Many kinds of finches, yellowheaded blackbirds and goldfinches, juncos, white crowned sparrows among others. I've been throwing them some seeds since it snowed so much. The mourning doves show up every day. They just ignore Raven. Well she is a bird dog. The only trouble with a lot of birds is that they run into the windows at a bigger rate. Yesterday one was stunned and sitting on the front porch step. Sparky totally ignored it. In a while the dogs came in and Raven was kind of hacking, like maybe she had feathers in her throat. I said "Raven!! Did you eat that bird??" . She got a rather astonished panicky look, and very guiltily snuck out of the room.
Last night I heard the first frogs singing. I'm always thankful to hear the frogs again. I'm afraid some spring I won't hear them any more.
