We were invited by a very lovely couple who are not only clients but also very dear friends to accept their hospitality and join them for a couple of days of birding at their home in Edgewater. So off we went, through 90 kilometer an hour winds and pelting horizontal snow we drove to Edgewater. We were greeted by our lovely golden retriever hostess Summer and her little buddy Petey. Petey moved so fast I couldn't get a decent photos but Summer obliged and showed us her view.
That is an osprey on the tree branch.
Old Ginger hung in there for the walks and didn't slow down much. For an old lady dog she is always up for an adventure. We were glad that Ginger and Petey and Summer got along so well.This was the first time they had met each other. They are all such happy and well balanced dogs that it was easy for them to just be themselves.
We trudged around the town on lovely walks through misty rain but not unpleasant temps. This little mountain town is certainly more that just the sign on the highway. Quaint old buildings and enthusiastic residents keeping their chins up despite the lumber mill closing and the real estate market crash make this a very special place.
Apparently the music scene is jumpin' here.
We are looking forward to the opening of Petey's Place, an old fashioned hotdog/ice cream stand which will open at the end of the month on Victoria Day weekend. The little snack bar wagon is brightly painted and reminds me of a circus car, looking cheerfully optimistic waiting for the sounds of mustard being slathered on hotdogs and hamburgers.
Bring on summer. We are all absolutely fed up with winter and snow and the derisive snickering of our coastal buddies who are basking in green and flower petals.
