I have lived for more than 30 years as a Wilderness Dweller. Most of that time was in cabins I built myself far from the nearest road, high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada. My "retirement" home is accessible by a bush road but still far from neighbours. I live off the grid, and operate this blog by solar-powered satellite internet.

Spring!

Just this last day or two, spring has arrived.  The hummingbirds were the first sign.

And against the mountains it made a rainbow.
