Away with the snow; away with the bone chilling temps, and welcome spring. The wild flowers are in full bloom; the bear are awake and getting into the trash; the deer are hitting the car…yes Tom bagged his first deer with the Honda, only $2500 worth of damage. Sydney’s first response was, “That deer messed up our car.” So smart! The deer was at fault and paid for it deerly. Hunting season never ends here! 
We purchased a canoe and are having fun on the lake. Our first time out we watched an Osprey catch a bass. The next day we were blessed to see a double rainbow coming out of the lake. We grabbed the kids and went to look for that pot of gold we heard so much about. Funny, even the leprechauns are hurting in this economy; just a lame 3 leaf clover was all that was there.
We have taken to hiking on our off time. Sydney is becoming a great hiker and TJ loves to watch everything. It’s now a game to see what animals we come across. Laura has an eagle eye and can spot deer 200 yards off. Tom is fascinated with the Marmots (rat type animals you find by creeks). Our morning walks Sydney loves to feed the horse and we all love the mountain views. We now live in a place similar to where we vacationed. The hikes we are doing now are equal to those in Yosemite and Sequoia.
The saying is “If God doesn’t live in Colorado; I’ll bet that’s where He spends most of His time.” It is true, but they forgot to say which part of Colorado…Pagosa Springs. Blessings to you all drop in and visit when you’re in the neighborhood.
What's next for the Olson family?
