Delayed

The package I have been expecting finally showed up in the FedEx site, will need to be signed for, and needs to go to Oregon. It is scheduled to arrive on the 11th, though it was ordered on the 2nd. So I will wait until Saturday to depart. I don't do Salt Lake City on a Friday afternoon-anymore. I hope Saturday will be all right-not too much traffic. Experience is the great teacher. So I will dawdle toward departure and still get frantic the day before.

I am loving the green. My friend Guy has a group of "natural food" scientists and he has sworn by calcium as a weed preventative/soil builder. I made a slurry of some of his product and sprayed it around last fall in a test patch that had some of everything including thistle. It seems to be working. I may do the rest in the next couple of days. The grass is sure looking healthy.

I keep looking for a spot to shoot the Wind River Mountains while there is still some snow in the foothills. Nature photography, according to the rules, is supposed to have as little man-made evidence as possible. Finding a vantage point that takes in the panorama without power lines and poles is tough duty.
