Spring is in the air! The weather has been lovely and the girls (Kam, Liv, Nana, & Baby dog) and I went out to Spotted Eagle to walk the trails and just breathe in the fresh air. The geese are back to nest on the small island in the middle of this little pond. They are fun to watch! I walked up one of the scoria paths, over a couple of little bridges, and came upon a beautiful butterfly. So nice to see some color when the world has been winter gray! Then around the bend, nibbling on something near the bank of a little stream, was a muskrat. It swam right at me before diving under some reeds that were hanging over the bank. It wasn't even concerned with the simple dog on my leash. Baby was likewise oblivious.

| Notice in the second picture, the male goose honking orders to the female in the lead. I'm sure she is flying all wrong! |

| According to an American Indian Legend - If anyone desires a wish to come true they must first capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it. Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all. In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom, the Great Spirit always grants the wish. So, according to legend, by making a wish and giving the butterfly its freedom, the wish will be taken to the heavens and be granted. |

That muskrat cracks me up! Do you remember the beaver in Lady and the Tramp? That's what he reminds me of....all business.
