Product of my 'domesticity'

  

Now ... if I'd only still had

Lorna's lens ... 

the best I could do

with what I had

(going to have to

get me one!)

Cleaning the camper

in preparation.

              As you can see ...

 we had a  graduate today. Troy's big smile can be

                much more attributed to the fact that Laura is home again, than the

                        diploma he is holding.

One of the great displays at school for Earth Day

The 'treasure' that I found on the side of the street this week.
Hopefully this is only the first of many times that you'll
see this in my work.

My lupines starting to make their appearance

'Max' a Great Horned Owl brought in by
Manitoba Wildlife Federation to school today.

Settling in for a nice relaxing soak in Karen's hottub. 

April 25



Some leftovers of last year's crop



It must finally be spring ... Conrad's car is out!

A little of our 'mellow' music

April 24

The one and only Johnny Jump-up that I could find in my flower bed so far.

Not a very good picture, but we happened to come across
a mother fox carrying her pup across the highway.

More springtime flowers in bloom ...

April 23

The three sweeties that we found working hard on their yard. They
were kind enough to take us on a tour of kittens, calves, etc. Thanks girls!

Found blooming
in front of Mom's yesterday.

 
















                             Caught the sunset just in time last night

 Someone in the family is 

considerate enough to know

 how important

the 'no' in that little sign

is to Conrad.

Harry's progress

on the car.

  Joanna & baby Lucy (Steve`s family)

came to visit us at

school today, and 

seems that baby

got tired of the 

party.

April 20

We`ll just call it a `sky` day ...

             One of the turtles in the school aquarium.                             View from the hill at the nature park.

Good daily practise for all of us.

April 18

I love colorful shoes

Notice what temperature it supposedly reached at our place at supper time



Some showers happening in the west late this evening



April 17

Water rushing over the floodway gates

Log jam at St. Jean bridge

Last year on this day ...

Not the way the ag people want this time of year to look .



  

Trying one of Cheryl's ideas ... my sad little duck



On this day in 2007, Troy & Grandma sharing a good laugh.



April 15

My snow drawing out our back door.

Although 'snow-capped coneflowers'

are kind of neat ... seriously ...

 in April!?!?!

April 14

Just had to try this ... my attempt at a moon shot.
The thin layer of clouds made this a little less than what I had hoped for.



Black smoke northeast of Altona this afternoon.



April 13

Okay ... when the day starts with a beautiful sunrise ...

Some colorful dominos.

Water droplets on the leaf of one of my house plants.

Ice encased grass blades on our lawn. This is really a sad
statement about our weather ... the fact that the ice never
melted today at all.

  I had a lot of fun

 doing a little more

experimenting with

 Lorna's macro lens. I think

I am really learning

 to love that lens.

Troy was a good sport tonite, and agreed to be my subject.  On top left, he's

waiting for the ball diamond to dry out. Top right, we found a sled

at the nature park, and he tried sledding down the hill (no luck). At

the bottom I caught him leaping from one rock to another.
