A little ways down the path past this gate lies our pond. Yesterday it was dead quiet.


Tonight? Full of the sound of these!

Truthfully, this is a toad crossing sign from Germany (where toads are protected), and the pond is full of frogs - but I think the sign still gets the point across.

April heat wave

It was 24 degrees in the shade today. Things are greening up fast and incredibly Travis tilled the garden. 

The dogs and I supervised carefully from the shade of the deck...with a book...and tea. Good job Honey! 


I started parsley, sweet basil, Thai basil, and cilantro. 


The Herons are back.

Baaaad hair day

Does this make me look fat?

 Uh yes, yes it does...pregnancy will do that to a girl. 

A couple more weeks to go...
