Spring-like weather continues … although, this week was pretty low key. We had an appointment with our tax person, which required time collecting papers. the house was in need of some above ‘regular’ cleaning, and there were a couple of canning projects.
We did make it out to the stream late in the week. Didn’t fish, just set up chairs along the bank, had a picnic and watched wildlife.
JQ took some photos and I got in some drone practice. In all … a very mellow week.
This winter started out with above average snows and raised local’s hopes for some drought relief.
Unfortunately, reservoirs are at record low levels, to the point that even an average snow pack won’t be enough. It would, however, have gone a long way toward easing Central Oregon’s water crisis.
Well, this past December was followed by a record dry January. We went from a hundred and ten percent snow pack to eighty-five and relief isn’t in the forecast.
We take advantage of sunny days, but keep in mind that the rivers we enjoy and the creatures living in and around them, are going to suffer.
So as we take in a mild winter day, with fingers crossed. we wish for a few more wet weather fronts to roll in before winters end.
