Yesterday was uneventful except for the return of the wind--another red flag warning until Saturday. The sun is bright and the temperature is in the low 60s, so it's pleasant outside unless you're in the path of a dust cloud.
We walked up the ridge behind the store this morning and saw a Kaibab squirrel, a gray creature with a fluffy white tail and large pointed ears which is found nowhere else in the world. They are very skiddish and photographing them, which we're determined to do, is extremely difficult. We found a red hawk's tail feather and several types of wildflowers in bloom. On the way back, we heard a loud cracking sound and looked toward it in time to witness a 70' Ponderosa pine lean, fall and crash to the ground. [Yes, it did make a sound!] After that, we increased our pace and kept nervous eyes on the trees swaying above us.
