Forty Acre Rock Preserve

 There are millions of tadpoles in the water. Jon is poking them with his spider stick.

Can you find the beaver lodge?

This is what one of my patches looks like thanks to the deer

Thanks Ginger

Craig and I got our engagement pictures back. Here's my favorite.

How to Ride Sheep

My sister uploaded these pictures onto her blog the other day and I felt compelled to share. My Grandfather had a ranch and when we were kids we went to watch the sheep get sheered every year. Without fail, we would always try to ride them. What fun memories do you have as a child?

 I saw a mosquito today.

What It's Like Outside

As most of you know, we're into gardening. At the beginning of fall I found myself with some time on my hands and decided to experiment with bulds. I ended up planting about 300 of them.

Here are the tulips. They are coming up in 3 spots.

These daffodils were here when we bought the house. They're beginning to bloom now. I planted some paper white bulbs, which are very similar. They bloomed over Christmas.

Here's a patch of hyacinth. This is coming up in 2 spots.

Our neighbor planted these lenten roses a few years ago, along with some ferns.

The trees are starting to bud.

This year the plan is to experiment with moss. It's all over our property, but we want to add some types with interesting textures.
