Apparently Hazel quite enjoys getting
to hang out with the laundry in the basket :)

Just waiting ...

Hmmm  ... almost end of April and
we are dealing with white stuff again :(

Well, it was good weather to
hang out with some good tunes
while I painted this shelter

Conrad salvaged this pallet for
me to build me a little present :)

Ta dah!  :)  :)  

At the pond ... a warbler?

Well, since no one else has been around ...
decided to be the first in this box :)

Little Miss Smiley :)

Smile!  :)

Man!  Those blue eyes!  😊😊

Conrad got out in his Chevelle today ...
going for a little tuneup :)

Lots of water moving through the floodway

Beautiful sunrise this morning

The first finch we spotted
at our place

House finch

A pair of Wood ducks in our pond ...
pretty scarce yet these days

April 20

No ducks but SO many
frogs and toads at the pond!

The whole gang on a walk
with Grandpa and I

Ben & Thea 

Easter egg hunt is on!

Enjoying the goodies

Into their Easter jammies :)

April 19

A little break in our puttering
enjoying the birds and sun

I see a full moon rising!  :)

April 18

We had a single visitor to the pond today!
Yippee!

A little outdoor yoga time with Suzanne
in the beautiful warm sunshine :)

April 17

Listening, listening ...
on the hunt for a worm

April 16

Wee bit of ice left on the pond

Starting to keep my eye out
for the ducks to return

April 15

My Grandma Kehler's barn
is shrinking 

Still have memories of riding with
Uncle Henry in this truck when I was little

The robins were very delighted
with today's weather and worms coming up

Made it back to the house just before
the thunder and showers started 

April 14

Did a little 'shtapping' today
to hunt for a photo

Hmmm ... I wonder who is
building a big nest on top of Van Gogh

April 13

This little break out in the sunshine this afternoon
was a very welcome respite after a long spell at the hospital

My first outdoor yoga practice in
the shelter for this year  .... ahhhhhhh  :)

April 12

I'd heard lots of these guys, and
seen a few in the trees, but today was the
first time I actually got my camera on one
on our yard ... in the snow :)

Stayed with these sisters for a little bit
today while Sherry & Stephen went to school with Ben ...

Oh Zoe :)
