April 8-14 - no baby yet, hiking and projects

This week has been busy with projects at Shan’s... switching out receptacles and washing baby clothes!  

After a great Kodiak cake breakfast, we hiked the Stevens Trail in Colfax. Wildflowers are beginning to bloom and lots of running water. 













This one of my favorite invasive CA trees, the Manzanita. They are beginning to flower. 

Drove down to Drew’s Thursday night to get ready for an electrical project on Friday. When HGTV’s Yard Crashers did Drew’s backyard, they didn’t do the  electrical connection to the outdoor lights very well. So that was Bill’s job. He got it done and Drew and Erin had a party outside that night. They were so appreciative. 



Their backyard was really nice before but now it’s even better with lights that actually work at night. 

Saturday we were back up at Shan and Carl’s so Bill could help Carl put in a new mailbox post. The previous one was a white bucket with a pole stuck in it. Not the most beautiful but you could tell where to turn because no one else had one like it. 

More hiking on the ditch trail behind Shan’s house. The ditch is a way California provide  irrigation to houses. The snow melts off the mountains and runs into these ditches. And it’s also great hiking trails. 









We went to church on Palm Sunday at the UMC in Nevada City where I’ve gone before. They treat me like one of there’s which really makes me feel welcome. Today’s reading of the Passion was very stirring. The keyboard player sang the song from Jesus Christ Superstar, Gethsemene. Very powerful singer.
