I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neigborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?


Can't help but sing that tune on a beautiful day like this one!

Sound of the snow melt singing the sweet sounds of spring

Rolled the scooter out at lunch to take a couple of pictures to post later if I can figure it out.Would have rode it back to work if the roads were not so wet and so much sand.Was hoping to get in the woods this weekend but it sound like it may be a little wet.Thanks for the pictures for us stuck at work!
 
rain or shine - I'm heading out for my first shed hunt of the year this weekend!! I've stayed out too long and those pics were enough to about make me call in sick tomorrow! Can't wait!
 
Just got in the door myself from a "scoutin" trip with Moosehunter.... Spent the morning on the hard water catchin panfish... home for a quick bite to eat and then a nice walk in the woods... Dang I hate having days off during the middle of the week....

Had to haul a cattle feeder from up north of Pella yesterday and I had to pickup a bigger trailer down on the MO line.

Saw at least 10 bald eagles...one field had 4! Most I've seen in one day! (all south of the DM River)

On the way home last night I lost count of the deer but based on 10-15 in each field...well over a hundred!

Never saw a "horn" in the bunch and they were in every type of field possible...which didn't give me any clues on where to look for sheds.

Everywhere I guess!

Sure glad I didn't have to wait for the weekend to go "trampin"...
