The river is running high, but still hasn't reached peak spring run-off stage. Fingers crossed all that extra snow in the mountains doesn't decide to melt at once. Everyone on our street keeps a respectful eye on the river, especially this time of year. So far so good, it's been a chilly and slow spring. By this time last year, it was already hot and dry.
What a wonderful sight yesterday. A family of Mergansers swimming up the river in front of the house. I counted 13 ducklings, a smart one catching a ride on the mom's back. The others literally had to run across the surface of the river to keep up with her in the swift current. Such strength and determination in those tiny balls of fluff.
John's brother Dan and sister-in-law Rebecca are visiting for two nights and we're having a pleasant time catching up. Had a big family dinner here at the house last night, and will do some sightseeing today.
