Otter escape

Otter escape

There is so much happening with the area around Cache Creek that I have fallen behind. This otter woke me up to spring even though we are still in winter, still in a drought, and still hoping for a rainy spring.
I have all these plans to clean up the land, but the rain has made the roads impassable so far.
I thought perhaps that after all this warm afternoon weather the roads would have dried out, but my walk this afternoon showed otherwise. There were two huge herons foraging in the vernal pools. And while the daffodils that I planted over there were blooming, the nip in the air was evident. None of the new seeds I have planted seem to have survived the flood, but I will be keeping an eye on those spots. All the rain, followed by all this sun should have a positive effect on all those plants.
