It's been a long day of preparing for tourists. The water is finally in the system. This is only possible because the lines are just below the ground a few inches. Yesterday I had a snag, where there was still frost ground around a pipe leading to a cabin. There is still frozen ground 3 feet down; the installation of gas tanks at the corner store has ground to a halt because they can't dig yet.
Fish are jumping! Under a mackerel sky at sunset, which was a red glow in the northwest sky, as the rest was under cloud.
Lots of bird sounds, far too many for me to identify. Birders, where are you? I think there is a pileated in the grounds. I have been hearing him for more than a month, and today I saw the characteristic hole in a tree. The old weather forecasting tree beside the office window is DEAD, and that is what the woodpecker has been working on. Strangely I haven't seen him yet, just a case of not looking at the right time. Either he is working on a couple of trees, or there is more than one in the 'hood.
The creek was running backwards today. The dam at Whitney is letting water into the system. Last night, under the stars, the falls was ROARING.
