First of Many


They grow at Baldy with no special attention. My cousin gave me a few bulbs years ago, and they keep blooming. More recently, they dug their garden in Delta, and had about 1000 bulbs to give away. I planted a bunch, and they are just starting to bloom. There should be 3 types. The stalks and leaves are shorter than those grown in better conditions, but the flowers are great, and they survive spring snowfalls.

Dust Control

 AIM applying dust control on McKinney road today.

I met one tridem heading up around 10:45, and followed this one this afternoon. He stopped at the bottom of toboggan hill, but I did not see an applicator truck.

Heads Up - Emergency Alert System Test Coming Soon


 

Wow! Tom continues to impress!

I had a tour this morning, my first time through the inside of Tom's build. I've watched regularly from the clearing to today. Stumps and boulders moved without a machine. Lots of planning and quality work. The home feels much larger inside than it looks from the street.

Nature has interfered with Tom's construction schedule - soffits needed sooner rather than later.... Birds looking for a nesting spot have discovered the "giant birdhouse".
