The weather is beautiful! And with gorgeous weather comes all sorts of special gifts. The main gift is that of spring! And in the spring comes flowers, blue skies, nice breezes and baby animals. Our back yard on a nighlty (and early morning) basis has a small herd of 5 or 6 elk that venture through keeping us from having to mow our lawn, very often. They come right up to our back deck and peek over the railing. There are tons, and I mean tons of rabbits that hop to and fro all through our front yard every morning... as I leave for work, I see their cute white tails lopping away. In neighboring pastures, which I drive past each morning, I see four sweet young colts cantering around in the crisp morning air, chasing bugs and running circles around their mothers. In the afternoons, they are keeping in shade of their mothers, or sprawled out on the pasture floor napping.
Enjoy the photos! Let me know what you think.
Elk. Can you see the two on the right, just beyond our deck?
Cute. What is so interesting about a weed?
Being that it is spring too, it is perfect weather to begin burning some of the smaller piles that we have on our property. These piles are of stumps that we have had pulled up and piled so that we can have bon-fires like the one you see below. Check out our fun process. The last one is a super close up of the pile burning, just for effect.
After five hours, only a third was burned down, and it took 45 minutes to put out. We have 4 other small piles like this one still to burn.
On another note, we had some friends from up north visit us. Their son is now three, super talkative and runs everywhere. On top of that, he found Eric's drums and is quite the little drummer!!
Eric and Issac.
