I checked the flows of the rivers on Sunday morning. The South Loup River is still running a little lower, at 235 cfs, compared to 241 cfs last week. The Middle Loup is up, running 1,340 cfs, compared to 1,110 cfs last week. We have several geese nesting at our place. Usually, we have baby geese in the first part of May. We will see how this year’s hatch does. I noticed my tulips have buds; none are blooming yet. One of the things I’ve enjoyed this past week (when the wind was not blowing), is, as the sun comes up, all the songbirds fill the air with their songs. They give me a peaceful start to my day.
