I'm ba-ack!

So, you've all heard of a 'fair weather friend'?  Well, I've decide that I must be a foul weather blogger.  It's just a lot easier to keep up with blog posts when the weather is foul and I'm stuck inside more.  I haven't posted since last JULY!  Just like everyone else, we got busy with the garden, the crops, the cattle, the kids...ya know, life in general.  Anyhow, after Quentin left for school this morning Maci and I looked out the kitchen window and saw all of the beautiful snow on the trees.  'Beautiful snow' is not exactly the phrase Ryan uses when referring to it, but we shared our hot chocolate with him so he sweetened up a little! 

 Maci and I decided to bundle up, get our cameras and head outside.

 We caught Ryan strolling by--he was working on his semi truck out in the driveway.  Hmmm, maybe that's why he's not so fond of the snow!

 So, off we went for our snowy day adventure.  Here's a few photos we took:

Hope everyone out in blogger-land is doing well!

Signs of Spring Adventure

The kids and I went Easter clothes shopping the other day and found these cool flowers.  Okay, so we got a little off task--but we did get Easter clothes too.



We thought they were a sign of spring and the kids decided we should go on a 'signs of spring' adventure.  When we pulled in the drive we saw our first sign of spring.  Ryan had brought the planter home to get it ready! It had been stored in the shed at the other farm.

We walked around the yard and found daffodils getting ready to bloom, tulips starting to come up, strawberries starting to show some green and some trees budding out.   Then, the kids decided that no adventure was complete without a trip down to the creek.

We had lots of fun looking around.

The biggest sign of spring for Mom came when we got home--- a couple of fresh cuts from walking around in the timber. 

HAPPY SPRING, EVERYONE!

Going on an Adventure!

The kids love to go on "adventures" around our farm. One of their favorite adventures is to go down to our creek. We had a great time!

Quentin and Maci love crawling across the creek on logs....but our dog, Myles, wasn't so sure about it.

Quentin likes to climb trees...

..and hide behind them!

Maci likes to hold trees up...

..and try to push them over!

Then, we headed for home...

..for some hot chocolate and silliness!

Hope you had a fun Sunday too!
