Two of my sons and I are recovering from winter cold viruses. Sam missed four days of school, Jake two, and I’m just kind of moseying along with a milder version of whatever they have. We got a nice break in the rain today with 60-degree sunny weather, so we all went outside for some vitamin D.

Then we set off the brush pile with some diesel fuel. It was so wet it took a bit, but it lit. They love our annual burn. Our brush pile has been in the same place for 10 years, and this year it was huge due to the big storm we had two months ago. Burned all day and has plenty of coals as I write this post just past midnight.

The rivers are expected to rise as the snow in the mountains melts. We had a beautiful sunset again. Great place to live. I love it here. Maybe I’ll fish tomorrow if the ocean is calm. Maybe even go upriver to visit Franz Shindler.
