It's been a while

I haven't posted anything new in several weeks. We made our spring break trip to IL to enjoy the rain then returned to several inches of new snow and had around 8" the next week.

Isaac and I have been out hunting turkeys the last two weekends just south of Salida, CO. We found turkeys the first Saturday then came oh so close to closing the deal on a good tom on the second Saturday (last weekend). We'll be hunting again this Saturday and may hunt Sunday morning early then sprint back to church. I'll eventually post a whole string of pictures from our turkey season in the mountains and hope they culminate into a grand finale that includes a Merriam turkey in hand.

Spring has finally showed up for the most part and the snow is steadily disappearing even in Leadville. We're looking forward to green grass in our little yard and Heather has plans for me to create a couple raised beds for growing lettuce, carrots, etc. (cool weather garden).
