Bear and I headed to town at lunchtime. I thought I’d get a few groceries.

About a third of the way there, I decided I didn’t really feel like going all the way and doing the grocery thing.

We were approaching the road to the wild bird spot so I decided “a walk!”

I forgot the area is closed from March 1 until July 15.

BUT, the road from the highway is long and pleasant and the day was beautiful so we walked.

Along the road, one of my favorite barns…and I think they are dismantling it. I thought maybe just a new roof but as I watched for a bit, I think they are taking it apart.

So maybe the last photos of this barn that provided a lovely foreground to the mountains behind.

The road…and the sky and the clouds.

We had a glorious walk!

Spectacular clouds and sky on the road home!

And green in the fields!

Happy Day.

**Auggie caught a yellow jacket today (outside) and did NOT get stung. I dispatched it. They are slow. I’ve caught 2 in the traps. So the count so far is 5: 2 in the house, 2 in the traps and 1 by Auggie 5 queens = a potential 15-20,000 YJ’s over the summer.
