April 10 - Hiking in Nevada City and Winery

Shannon had today off from work so we went to Nevada City to spend some time with her. We hiked the Butternilk Bend trail along the south fork of the Yuba River. It was so beautiful because all the spring wildflowers were blooming and they had them labeled. 

Here are just a few of the ones we saw. My favorites were the mini purple lupine and the California golden poppy the two colors together were stunning. 

After the walk, the dogs were tired. Three of them fit in the one bed. 

Shan drove by the house they are buying. Couldn’t see too much because there are lots of trees on the property. Hoping to g a better look another day. 

Then it was on to a winery that Shannon has wanted to visit. Loved the wines. Sat outside and ate cheese, crackers and fruit. 

After that full day, we went back to Shan’s (Carl was working) to have a large salad and brownies and ice cream to celebrate Shan and Bill’s birthday. The share March 26. 

Tomorrow we are back down at Drew and Erin’s to install a screen door.
