This is what the Bizz Johnson Bike Trail will look like in another month. Once the trees get their leaves, it's a great place to walk and have a picnic.

Out of Service
I saw this on a new road in town. It's a dead end road. I bet it will connect with another new road, the Skyline extension.

What a difference a day makes!
Yesterday the temperature was about 75. It was AMAZING! This afternoon we had horrible winds that knocked the power out right after school. Tonight it snowed! Weather in the mountains can be very unpredictable! As you can see in the photo, rain is falling on the mountains. This is Susanville's little hospital, about 25 beds. I believe it's the only hospital in Lassen County. It is MUCH nicer then the old hospital, which only had about 10 beds. You can see a few of Susanville's water towers in the background.

Fire on the mountain!
This afternoon helicopters could be heard overhead. In this little area, that means two things. Either life flight is taking someone to the city for care or CDF is fighting a forest fire. We had some errands and as we were leaving the subdivision, my daughter yells, Fire on the Mountain! She was right. It was on the mountain just behind our neighborhood, but looked under control. Not a good sign when fire season starts in April, not a good sign at all! I was able to get a photo with the Lassen 'L' in it! I am having computer and Blogger issues. Some of the comments that others have left are not showing up in the comments section. But on a happy note, spell check is finally working again! Now if I can figure out why my computer shuts off randomly, things will be much better!

Clear Creek Park
The foot bridge over the pond in Clear Creek is dangerous! As I was backing up to take this photo, I found the one loose board, lol. Luckily I was paying some attention to where I was backing up or I might have been in real trouble.

Ducks!
This little guy was at the park in Clear Creek. Clear Creek is a great little town about 25 miles from here. Their little park has a huge pond/marsh area. As you walk along the pond, the ducks stay close hoping for food.

April is Autism Awareness Month
For those not affected by autism, April is National Autism Awareness Month. Sadly this disorder is the fastest growing disability in the US. The CDC estimates that autism occurrs at 1 in every 150 births. For boys the rate is 1 in every 90 births.
I have a child with autism. Some days are easy, very easy. But then there are days when I wonder how I will get through the day. Luckily those days are not as often as they were before, but they still pop up here and there. Life is never dull. It can go from ordinary to insane in the blink of an eye!
If you are interested in helping donate money for autism research or supporting autism events, please check out the events calendar at Autism Speaks. They are hosting events coast to coast to raise money for research. These events are being held in the US, Canada, and UK.
If you are in a city that is hosting a walk, I would love to see photos of the event!!!
