Wow March already! where does the time go? We are starting to see flowers blooming on the cactus and bushes. they are so pretty and we are assuming that with the bit of rain we got it is helping with the flowers. As usual Monday is our Trash day.
the pelicans are feeling the love of spring too!
Tuesday we watered our trees, still 17 of the 35 are leafing out. I am afraid that the others are not going to make it. We were planning on transplanting but with the painting of the buildings it is too late now. We had to organize the paint supplies and believe it or not but it took us well over 4 hours to get it done! We had to move some supplies from HQ to the yard. We were attempting to open the door of the wood working building, there was a very huge hairy black spider hanging right near the latch. Of course I backed away a foot, then we heard this noise! First I thought hmm… strange noise for a spider (actually I do not know if they make noises), second thought was why is the door rattling? Eric at that moment yelled “SNAKE”! needless to say we ran and screamed out of there. Dave brought the snake stick to move it off of the premises. We were about 18 inches from that damn snake!
Dave is our Hero!
Wednesday: we had a choice of going to an all day safety meeting or install signs.. guess which we chose! we began our day with a snake hunt!
we did not see any snakes but a black tailed rabbit
and a white tailed rabbit
time to get to work… but first we saw a new bird!
ok now its time to work
ok back to snake hunt. no luck but just as we were leaving…
this diamond back was crossing the road… Linda our Refuge Manager said she would take us out to find them… hope to get better and more pictures then.
this weekend we are heading to Cottonwood, AZ to the Dead Horse Ranch State Park for a weekend of camping in a cabin..
It was good to get your comment on my blog. Since you have a new blog each year, I don't have you in my blog reader. I will be reviewing your current year--a quick glance shows you are enjoying the Colorado River. Doesn't Sedona have the most beautiful setting for a town you have ever seen in your life?
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, Like you I use my blog as a diary so I change it every fall. Good thing I keep good records too. our boss this week asked that we record not just our hours but we did since we arrived here! the blog made it easy to "remember" what we did at work.
Deleteand yes Sedona is beautiful. we have been lucky that we are able to travel and enjoy this beautiful country.
