April at Echo Ranch

Life at Echo Ranch is always a joy. Usually we get to move out around April 15th...TAX DAY! But this year we had the privledge of moving out to camp earlier. I moved out on March 29, 2006. There was snow everywhere!! What a beautiful spring.

Check out this picture I took on April 1, 2006 of the snow pile on my back deck!! There was so much snow I couldn't even open my door. Now on April 14, 2006, just two weeks later the snow is gone. There are just a few piles here and there around camp. The snow caused a lot of problems. The "Staff House" where I live was without water for 5 days. I felt like I was a pioneer, except for the internet connection that I have.....hmmmm...I guess it is not the same. Let me tell you, when you do get water, it is an amazing gift from God. The water I have now is a hose to the building. So it is sort of touchy system. But I am very thankful for the water!
