Having a spring birthday adds to the celebration when you live at a campground. My favorite color is green. Spring green is everywhere as flowers and new leaves invite us all to enjoy the outdoors. The pontoon boat is going back in the water this month as well. We are starting to make plans for our summer holiday crafts and the 2017 Children's Scavenger hunt is good to go. It will be another few weeks before the pool is open but new flowers are already in place.
Besides working on the cabin this winter we have spent some quality time bird watching. Plan now for next years Fin's Feather and Flowers Event held the last weekend in February. I have discovered that the way to learn more about birds is to go out with a group of people. The more eyes you have looking, the more you see. We have a birding scope that shows lots of detail even when the birds are further away. Bird watching can be very much like fishing.. You stay focused on the activity giving you a break from day to to day responsibilities. Spotting a new bird is like trying to catch a fish. Some get away as they fly quickly out of view while others let you study them or even take a picture.The added bonus is no fish cleaning at the end of the trip.
Even though my age is fast approaching those golden years this is still just our fourth year at the campground. We are looking forward to our first Spring Bike A Thon and our grandson catching his first fish.Spring is a wonderful new beginning. Happy Birthday to us all.
