It's been chilly, but.....

God's creatures are starting to show up everywhere. The kids (Dad included as supervisor) have been catching fish - only to throw them back in the water. Not quite the opener yet. Trevor caught two big Walleye's. He didn't mind putting them back in the water. He thinks he'll just catch them later.




Trevor and I were shocked one day when we came home to this creature staring into our basement window. He obviously doesn't like the wind either.



We have Wood ducks that show up every morning. The females sit in the nest while dad stands guard. They are beautiful.

Are you enjoying the Spring?

What's that noise?

I was on the other side of the house when I thought I heard water running. Not just your typical faucet running, but the sound of water filling up. As I run for the noise which sounded from the kitchen, I round the corner to find this...


"Trevor! What are you doing?" I ask. "I'm taking a bath mom - but the water is cold, brrrrr." Seriously? I have never given him a bath in the sink. What would possess him at this age to take matters into his own hands? Trust me, the entire weekend consisted of many baths in the sink. That'll teach me. From now on, I'm leaving dirty dishes in there!

Watching and waiting

Why would a dog lay on a huge snowdrift...first off, so she wouldn't fall through and sink up to her head, but why would she remain so still for minutes and minutes...


I hear something...


Stop bothering me...I'm waiting...


There he is!
