What a morning it is. I took my cup of coffee out to my back deck and just sat for an hour sipping and enjoying the sun and blue sky. It was so quiet I could hear the birds' wings as they flew from the trees to the bird feeder on my deck. Syd and I have been enjoying the pair that have taken up residence in a barn shaped bird house we hung up last summer for decoration. Apparently it is good enough to live in. Don't ask me what kind of bird it is because I have no idea. It has wings and goes chirp, chirp. That is the extent of my birding skills.
Yesterday morning Syd and I hunted down the other Squiggly that Wendy has stashed by University Lake. We found the beavers' hut on the lake edge by taking the lower slanted path. It was a balmy 49 degrees when we set out at 9:30AM. We both had wool hats on and Syd even wore gloves. It was a lovely walk in spite of the cold and we saw many different types of waterfowl on the lake. It appeared that some had even made nests right on the water. I'm not sure how that works. I recommend taking your binoculars, I wish I had.
Get out and enjoy the day!

I'm a staff person in the College of Arts and Sciences Dean's Office at UAA. This is the first time I've participated in the start walking program. I've sponsored my daughter Sydney so she could enjoy the Orient Express too. We will be hiding Squiggly starting in June. This is Sydney's description of this walking blog: Mommy the hunter and me the clever 10 year old navagator! I have also personly picked the spot where we will be hiding Squiggly!!! :-)

Savana, a friend's six-year-old daughter I babysat Saturday, and I went in search of your Squiggly and found it with no problem -- except that Savana stepped in dog poop when fetching Squiggly from beneath the log!
(Check the standings, Sabrina. I've left you in the dust!!)
