Canyon Brook

Welcome back, Cee! Glad you are healing!

I am living near Slope Creek and Canyon Brook. However, I have not found the creek or the brook. These are street names. The wildflowers here are blooming along this concrete ditch at the farm kitty corner to me. The farm has cattle and sometimes I hear roosters in the mornings.

Wild flower

My daughter and her friend R came out on Saturday and we went up on the Colorado National Monument for Mother’s Day. There is not much blooming yet, but this lone flower is out. It was gorgeous most of the day until we got back. Right as we came in, rain and hail. It is wild here!

Hurricane Ridge

Yesterday I woke to low clouds and slight sky spitting. A friend and I drove up to Hurricane Ridge and climbed Hurricane Hill. I am delighted that I can do it without oxygen! I get short of breath if I climb AND try to talk. He had to do most of the talking.

We drove out of the cloud as we got to Port Angeles and it was just gorgeous on top of Hurricane Ridge. There were lots of people up there. Tons of wildflowers, too and views of the Olympic Mountains. At the top we were looking at Vancouver Island and Canada to the north across the strait. A beautiful climb and a beautiful day.

I think this is Oregon Sunshine, Eriophyllum lanatum, or else it’s an arnica. There are a lot of yellow wildflowers, here.
