the sherwood merrywalkers  the great easter egg hunt in sherwood, march 31st

You can begin to see spring coming out at the Refuge.  We saw a hawk just soaring in the sky over the big pond for about 4 minutes, chipmunks, squirrels, frog eggs, trillium and all the other spring flowers.  

A group of us got together on Sunday and we drove down to Angela's hotel and then hopped on the Max to the Saturday/Sunday Market and walk under the cherry blossoms.  After an hour or so of shopping and checking out the Japanese sculptures and trees, we headed home for our Oscar Party at Mary Ann's house.  Out of all of the movies we saw in the past few weeks, the one we didn't see, won!  But it was fun trying to get all of them in before the party.

While Angela and I were out scouting for new places for the Easter Egg Hunt, our Roving Photographer, Starr, was out covering the Worker's Walk  in Vancouver.  It's so great to have all of our members taking such an active role for our club! In fact, Angela has joined our club and I'm sure she will be a great addition as one of our tour guides.  It just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?

The day started out at the Refuge with a bluebird sighting right in the beginning.  The owl is still napping in his same spot and before we left, we spotted a huge heron landing in the water.  We welcomed a new member, Sally, to our group and then we headed over for coffee.
Last night, 25 of our members were at the meeting to hear Dr. Rachael, who's specialty is ER, talk to us about injuries, vitamins and good mental health.  She was great and everyone had a million questions.  She was surprised to see how many walkers we have that are in their 70s.  She was a great speaker.
