Suns Up!

For some of you that read the Narveson News Blog, you have never seen the sun come up on a Saturday Morning. Well the sun was up, I was still drinking coffee and planing my day. And since it is Spring, the Turkeys are back in the yard. They never stay, they just walk through looking for seed and nuts. With the snow gone and frost out of the ground, it was time to get the steam back flowing. A little clean up here and some rearranging of rocks, the water was flowing again. Such a great sound to hear after a long winter. This week Nellie is spending time with us. Following me around the yard and trips to the hardware and just being a dog. But at the end of the day, she is dog tired. Enjoy Spring, (Fall for you Nate)

You never know who will show up

For the last 14 years, Kim and I have been going to the WCHA Final Final Five hockey play off and you never know who will show up. This year, Kim gets a call from Phil and John from Iowa. But where is Korey? And then just like clock work, the Gustafson family show up, same row, same seats. It was a great time with everyone. Three days of hockey and lots of beer and whiskey and more laughs they you can get anywhere. Next stop Detroit.

Butterfles and Flowers?

After being locking into the grips of winter for the last for the last three months, Spring came on in full force this weekend. After a week of rain and fog, the sun came out on Sunday and look what found! A Mourning Cloak butterfly and Snow Drop's. The Mourning Cloak butterfly hibernate, and the first warm day, it is looking for something sweet. Now the Snow Drop's we see every Spring, but this is the earliest. The sun and the warm temps sure do feel good. But if history holds true, we should have a snow storm this week. This is the week of the WCHA Final Five hockey tournament and it seems like it always snows. Let's see, time will tell.

The Look

Now, if you have ever gotten the look from you wife, or parent. There is nothing like getting the look from a Great Horned Owl. This Great Horned Owl is setting on it nest, not to far from our house. This nest is located next to one of the highways in our area. Thousands of people drive by this nest every day and don't see it. Owls start nesting early, so take a looking at those nest that are a pile of sticks in the tree. It my be looking back at you.
