My husband is the most amazing friend I'll ever have.

Great day to work in the yard today. Worked on a flower bed and
actually put an old bed I found a a junk store in it to plant
some wild flowers. I got a little ducling family and an owl at a garage sale for a coulple bucks. They are so cute.

Happy birthday to me!!!!!

I have been wanting a trellis between my patio and garden for sometime now and
Jack is so busy he can never find the time. My nephew Daniel is staying with us and working with Jack at the rope factory. He is very talented and full of energy so I
asked him if he might like to make me one. So the boys went out saturday and bought the re-bar and magically I have my birthday trellis! I love it. Thanks so much guys. Very sweet of you.

Lucy and I went on a very wet walk today but it was still beautiful.
We ran into a mother duck who flew out her nest full of eggs. We found
a bunch of baby toads and we got sopping wet!

The tulips are finally in bloom but worth the wait! Amazing color
and stamina this year! Enjoy.

Nature at it's best

I wanted to share a picture that my friend Anndi took. It is something you don't get to see everyday, in fact I've never seen and I think it is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. How could you not believe in GOD.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Spring has sprung, (kind of).It has been a long wet winter and I'm really certain that we are going to skip spring and go right into summer (at least I hope so) cause
it's not looking good.

Anyway we've been busy rain or shine sprucing up the yard in case summer does actually come.
I spent a few weeks visiting the kids in Montana. It was good to see them. I picked up a really bad cold from fin and ended up 4 days in the hospital with pneumonia.

I was home acouple weeks and Jenn missed me so much she came here for 2 weeks!!!!
So that was wonderful.

Then my nephew Dan came up to work with Jack out at the plant so we now have a son.
He has been a sweetheart. We really enjoy having him here.

Looking forward to a nice warm summer.

Fun at the Baja!

Fun at the Baja!
Oh my gosh, I just got back from 8 days down in San Jose Del Cabo
with my beautiful sister and her husband. It was so nice to feel
the warm sun on my face and the cool ocean on my feet. They treated me
to amazing walks up the arroyo's and delious meals from morning to evening.
Not to mention the pacifco beers and tequlia shots every night. The Ray's and the
the gray whales were putting on a show every morming as we ate breakfast on the balcony overlooking the Sea of Cortez. The sunrises were fantastico and the sound of the waves breaking lulled us to sleep every night. Couldn't have asked for a more relaxing why to spend part of the cold month of February. Always glad to be back home in the loving arms of husband though. Enjoy the pics!

January snow

5 inches of beautiful sideways snow last last, but raining all morning.
Should be gone by morning and in my eyes does not count as an official snow day! Has to stay at least 3 days afterwards.

Nooksack river

Normally we can't see the Nooksack river. There are raspberry fields and a bluberry field in between; but this morning I can see it plain as day.
Very pretty if your house isn't near it......

Happy Birthday to Miss Fin!

Old sweaters made into new stockings! So easy and so fun.
