“For a first deer, there is no habitat so lush and fine as a hunter's memory.” ~ Patrick F. McManus in They Shoot Canoes, Don't They?

We know spring has sprung here in our hometown of Spokane, Washington when the Spokane River, which flows through the middle of town, begins to flood and put on a spectacular show as it hits the falls downtown. I think everyone in town has ventured down to the suspension walking bridge over the falls to get soaked with spray and a little frightened! I don't know if any other cities have a wild falls downtown, but every spring we feel pretty lucky.

The other way we know spring is finally here is the morels start popping up. Pat and Bun have already had their first traditional spring meal of scrambled eggs and morels. They are hoping for many more!

Pat has biscuits on the brain this month, so you'll want to check out Pat Online to see what he is cooking up now. And Bun has written an entertaining blog about train travels she has enjoyed with Pat over the years. She even shares a recipe that she just about guarantees will make Brussel Sprouts edible. I guess I will have to try it because frankly I can't imagine that.

Those who shop at our store will be happy to know that we have ordered books to restock all our sold-out books just in time for your Father's Day shopping and we will be restocking our popular Men's denim shirts which we only carry for Father's Day and Christmas. If we have your email, we will be sending out a notice when everything is in stock and ready to go.

Happy trails,
