I've been taking care of a three-day event at work.  It's the first of three events in seven days which means my outdoor time this week will be minimal.  I'm hoping for at least a couple of hours outside tomorrow between doing the stack of dishes that have piled up on the counter and washing the clothes in the over-flowing laundry hamper.  That's what happens during my busiest time at work.

I checked the temperature for tomorrow and it says +17C.  I hope that doesn't change overnight.  The remainder of the week shows rain drop icons.  It rained all night long yesterday.  When I opened the back door this morning, the rain was still gently falling.  The robins were singing in the tree tops and the smell was amazing.

On the drive to work, I didn't see the Easter Bunny but a red tail hawk was perched at the top of a tree very close to the range road. They usually fly away when I try to capture a photo.  I didn't have my good camera but thought I'd give it a try anyway.  The hawk remained on the branch and I did manage to get a couple of shots.

I love leaving for work early in the morning.  The animals are looking for food and the morning sun lights everything with a

warm glow.  The moose were not out today but the two mule deer visited the backyard after I got home.  I haven't seen the five amigos for a few days.

I really should have taken care of the dishes and the laundry this evening but I opted for a fire in the wood stove and a nap on the couch.  I think I have time to pack my hiking backpack for an early morning outing.  Fresh air, here I come.
