A Whale Hunt

    A few days ago we heard that a whale had washed ashore near where we live. Today we set off in search of it. He is a 22-ft long juvenile grey whale who met his end during his pod's annual migration North. We finally found him. The kids were fascinated, and grossed out.

Spring is here!

  Spring made a definite arrival this week (for now). We live in the wettest region of the United States, so we made the best of it!! Rain will be here before we know it. We hiked around Black Lake and caught toxic western newts (but didn't eat any). 

Love and peace! Hope you are loving Spring as much as we are.
