This past Thur the dogs and I headed into town, me riding the ATV with them running the 23 miles to the garage, then on to Leavenworth & Wenatchee to run errands. This was to be the longest time away from Trinity since we parked the truck at the garage in Dec. We went out to visit friends and attend Meat Friday at Ryan & Sarah & Holt Walker's. Since we went to visit our friend Grant and wanted him to go with us we had to wait for him to get off work at Steven's Pass before heading to eat meat. Before we could leave though we had to check on the new bull calf that was born just before Grant got home, having just being born 15-30 min before hand, he's a good looking and very strong calf.
We were a little late getting there and not alot of people but tons of different meat dishes, anyone that didn't get full it was there own fault. Got to see old friends we haven't seen much lately and some new friends we hadn't met before, and even got to meet our neighbor's at our garage
the Loomis'. We had a wonderful time and had plenty to eat even having lunch and dinner the next day from leftovers we took home. Grant and I worked at the farm to get things ready, harrowing the hay field along with other chores around a farm while Grant sprayed his trees. We kept watch for the calf and as the day got longer he got stronger.
When we went out originally we we had planned to come home Sat but it was warm in town and thought we would put it off until Sun or Monday giving the snow a chance to set up so not so soft for the dogs that they punch through and get hurt. Easter morning I got a phone call from a friend telling me that he just saw it was already 45 @ Trinity yet only 38 in Leavenworth which when checked again the last update from the webcam was at 2:45 on 4/11 and normally when that happens it means one thing, the plant has dropped/ shutdown, meaning we had to pack and head home immediately so we did. The closer to Trinity we got the wetter it was and not the best for travelling on snow. We headed in from the garage around 11 and after almost 2 hours arrived home to find 4" of new snow in a mix or rain & snow from Chikamin to Trinity. This was a great weekend with friends, just cut a little short.
The best thing was when we got home the plant was still up and running and it was just the computer froze up which was a pleasant surprise. All in all a great weekend and the dogs got to all the stores that have doggy treats in town.We found our Paradise, hope you find your's too...Namaste'
