Pickleball night has started each Thursday, lasting at least as long as the outdoors is not very welcoming. Starting time is 6 p.m. in the recreation hall. All levels of performance, beginners and professional, all are welcome. Serious play will be at 7. Spectators are welcomed and cheering allowed.
Jesse and Annavelyn Wilcox and their little boy, Desmond, enjoyed some days of warmth with no snow in California. They soaked up the spring flowers and the greenery, something that Annavelyn misses from her home in the Philippines. They toured Alcatraz Island, the Golden Gate bridge, did family biking, the ocean, other touristy stuff, just down-time in every activity.
The family of Jody and Laural Janke were able to spend a weekend with her parents, Bob and Claudia Erickson. The snow was a bit limiting for outdoor activity, no soccer, no baseball, not even a picnic. They report having plenty of snow at their place in Teton, ID, just flatter terrain.
Eldon and Danita Wilcox have returned from serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during the past year. They were located at the Priesthood Restoration Center in Harmony, PA. Even though the spring weather has been delayed they enjoyed a leisurely trip home, taking in various sites as they have driven across the nation.
The weather may not recognize this as a sign of spring. Families who raise chickens are moving forward with purchasing chicks. There are some that are adding ducklings to their flocks, both at the fluffy cute stage of life. These are not intended for the fun and cuteness we see in pictures of spring, but will become producers of the future. They will also need protection from the wildlife predators that are out and about with the warming weather.
We continue to have earth slides on our slopes, impossible to avoid with such super saturation of water. The change in color and texture that results in a slide appears like a scar on the landscape.
We are still very active in the business of sandbagging and appreciate the spirit of helpfulness that is prevalent in our community.
A number of our community exclaimed about the beauty of the aurora borealis that performed this past week on our northern horizon. Above the blackness were purples, greens, pinks in light rays decorating the night sky.
