Walking down the short trail to Hedge Creek Falls.

Right off of I-5 as you come to Dunsmuir's first exit.

We've been here 6 years and finally saw them!

Even though they look small,

they are quite noisy.

If you look carefully you can spot

Russell walking past the waterfall.

You can walk behind the falls without

really getting wet!

Have a great day where ever you are!

Lucy is quite tired of the snow....

Me? We have little flurries every

day and I quite like them.

No shoveling involved and the mountains need it!

Cheers!

And Happy St Patrick's Day!!!

California Acorn Woodpecker!

Beautiful birds and very talkative!

They are very gregarious and fly together

while looking for acorns or, in this case,

a tasty suet feeder!

Okay....no shadows to be seen anywhere

these days as it has been either snowing

or raining...but that's okay since we

need all the precipitation we can get.

Poor Mt Shasta is almost naked!

It snows and then the wind blows most of it away.

Have a lovely weekend!

This burnt stump is one of the few remnants

of a devastating wildfire in the 1930's.

Our weather is changing- supposed to

be warming up thank goodness!

Clear blue skies and no clouds!

Russell can park our ATV with snow plow

back into to the shed with the snow blower!

Since today is his birthday

 I am glad he doesn't have to

go out to do more snow removal!

Have a lovely week!

Our week long class is over.

Hard work paid off.

Amazing how well everyone did.

Thanks to our fantastic teacher!

Friday evening we invited all our friends and

neighbors to join us at our little art opening.

We all  brought tasty bites and the gallery

provided wine and soft drinks.

It was a fun evening.

Manzanita Blossom

 

Manzanita is beautiful, but so hazardous

because it is so flammable and we live in

an area where you need to be mindful of wildfires.

So we are always diligently cutting it back

and pulling out the little seedlings. 

The deer are helpful also as they eat the leaves

as they meander outside our home.

Have a lovely Sunday!

Yesterday was a glorious sunny day

 with barely a breeze. So Russell and I

went up to Castle Lake just 7 miles above

 Lake Siskiyou near the town of Mt. Shasta.

Because of snow on the trail our walk was

 a short one, but I got some nice photos.

Have a great Sunday!

Three Marmalades in a Row

~~~

Two days ago I posted about picking lots

of Meyer Lemons off our friends tree

so I could make a lot of marmalades.

(One of my favorite things to do)

So....two days later I have made 3 varieties:

8 half pints of Blood Orange Marmalade

7 half pints of Lemon Ginger Marmalade

and 4 half pints of Blueberry Marmalade.

I still have enough lemons left to make two 

more marmalades: 

Rhubarb Lemon and Cranberry Lemon.

Yum...colorful and delicious fun!

~~~

Do visit Shadow Shot Sunday....

so easy to play along or just to browse other's shadows.

Hosted by Magical Mystical Teacher

who features photos from Southern Arizona.

Have a lovely weekend!

Shadow Shot Sunday December 3, 2017

It's finally safe to burn all the manzanita

accumulated this summer. Every year we

have to cut back this underbrush to lessen wildfires. 

Then we wait for the county to determine

 if it is safe to burn all the debris. 

It only took us one day to do this! Now we can relax!

Have a great weekend!
