Nest Building
Not the best picture, but we have a pair of birds building a nest in the honeysuckle vines on our front porch. If you look close you can see the bird. Not sure what kind of bird it is yet.

Raspberries
Doug and I moved some of our raspberry plants today. We are trying to make a couple of narrow rows so the berries are easier to pick. These are plants that I originally got from Mary Tharp when we lived in town, they produce great berries, and the stems don't have any thorns. Nice! Hopefully we will get a good crop of berries this year.

It Just Continues
Our wonderful spring continues. Another beautiful day. Nicki and Neena were over for half the day. We went to the library and Color Crossings. Nicki did some crocheting and knitting. Neena helped me get my garden ready for planting, and then Nick planted some seeds. It was a good day, good day.

Project Sunday
Doug and I got a lot done today. Cleaned up a brush area, planted potatoes and 25 Ft. Laramie Strawberries and enjoyed brats over a campfire for supper.
New row of red potatoes.
We had a little extra help with the garden this year.
New strawberry bed. It will be hard to wait until next year to have berries.
Brats and a campfire to end the day.

Ben's New Wheels
Ben bought his first set of new wheels Thursday evening.
Then on Friday, Doug found this set of new wheels for Ben.
Ben met Doug in Hudson, took a look, and bought it.
These engine pictures are for Isaac. We knew he would ask questions that we wouldn't have any idea about ;)
Nice truck Ben!
Hope you get many miles of enjoyment from it.

Bench
I took this picture while we were in Florida at a garden park. Ellie got me into looking at benches. They can be very interesting, and very detailed. But sometimes you have to look closely.

Safe for Another Year
Moose and Miss Mary survived another threatening winter. Doug, since he is the one that does winter chores, threatens during the months of January & February that it is time to "get rid of those goats." Well, here we are, well into the month of April, and they are still here. So I think they are safe for another 10 months :) I'm on your side goats, as long as I don't have to do chores in the winter, if that changes, well they will be out of here quicker than a "blink of an eye". But I won't be going out there in the winter, it's cold, and dark, and icky!
Thanks for all your hard work on the farm Doug. Miss Mary loves you!

Puts a Smile on Your Face
Ellie left this note during their spring break visit. I kept it. Puts a smile on my face every time I see it :)
We also had great news about Mom today, so it is totally appropriate.Sunday, April 11, 2010
Pretending to be Farmers
We had absolutely perfect weather today. Doug and I spent the afternoon cleaning out the goat pen, clipping goat hooves, cleaning out the chicken coop and we even washed the windows in the coop. I think the goats and chickens are really happy. Moose is especially glad that we didn't toss out his little house.

Audrey's Flowers
Always a sure sign of Spring when these tiny little flowers start blooming. Memories from when we lived in town and Doug and Audrey were our neighbors.

Easter Blessings
The Easter Bunny sent Ben on a treasure hunt this year. He was directed to go from one end of the house to the other, finding gifts such as graham crackers and marshmallows, loaf of bread, jar of Miracle Whip, sandwich meat. Eventually bringing him to his final destination, the oven where he found a Panini Maker.

Just Silly
3D Imax movie at the Kennedy Space Center. We actually saw two movies that day, and they were both fantastic. The moon and space are awesome in 3D.
