RAIN~STRAWBALE~LOCAL CRAFTS~BUTTERFLY MASK~


SATURDAY MORNING RAIN GAUGE...
Rob and I measured 1.40 inches here on Elena Ln and Deerhorn Valley Rd.  Weather Guru Bill Stevens got 1.71 in Upper Deerhorn.  Mother Grundy station (http://weather.mothergrundy.org/) showed 1.07 inches.  Any other reports?   A very nice rain (although I can do without the winds!)  Sure beats Red Flag Alerts!   Julian has snow... and DPW says the roads are open.  Not that I would brave those crowds for anything.  But the pie IS good!  -Kim

TRUNK OR TREAT
LOST/FOUND BUTTERFLY MASK
Thanks to you folks in the Deerhorn Community for making this such a great success!  Looks like we have an Annual Happening and the start of a new tradition right here in our own backcountry.  It was delightful to see all the costumes and smiles... not to mention just getting together to visit.
Found: A beautiful Mardi Gras mask seen in this photo of a young "butterfly girl" was found on the ground.  Email (dvca@deerhornvalley.net) or call Karen Koop (468-3627) to claim it:
