Peony is just starting to bloom. I remember them blooming around Memorial Day at my Mom’s and Grandma’s, when I was a child. But the last few years, they have been blooming earlier. Probably cuz in those springs, March didn’t give us much miserable weather. The second crop of lettuce has caught up with the [...]

Bryce colored his lion face. Bryce’s bottom teeth are just starting to grow in. Kylie finds goodies in her Easter bag. These are Kylie’s favorite eggs that we colored. Colton really likes his spinning top. So did Bryce, who was pretty good at getting it to spin a really long time.

This baby was still wobbly as I drove by Sandy Mason’s field and decided to take a photo of this good mama. Grass is just greening up as April weather moves the clouds in and out of the Kidder mt range in the background.

Amaryllis bloomed again in March with a new stalk and 4 blooms. First stalk bloomed on Valentine’s Day. A foot of snow on Sunday, March 20, 2011 didn’t phase the Oriental poppies a bit. They are looking great. I took this photo through the car window and the fence, because they would have ran if [...]
Snowed one foot on first day of spring!

Even after it began raining a bit and melting, the foot of snow clung on to the top of the trash can on our porch. There had been four inches of snow stacking up on the black railing, but it had dropped off by 10 a.m. Big Guy Kitty made me feel guilty for not [...]

It really opened on Sat. Feb. 12th, but by Mon. Feb. 14, it is beautiful! Thanks, friend Kathy Varnell, for the great Valentine’s flower. You gave it to me on Christmas Eve and it bloomed on Valentine’s Day.
Amaryllis is starting to grow

My friend Kathy Varnell gave me this amaryllis for Christmas. It was in the pot and the soil was moist. I set it in the east-facing window and have only watered it once, but it is starting to do its thing. This will be fun as I have never grown an amaryllis before. Notice the [...]
Toad stool on Thanksgiving

Found this toad stool on Thanksgiving day, when I was checking out the nearly six-foot Sun Dial that my son, Justin, built while visiting. My job now is to place rocks in the ground on the shortest day of the year, Dec. 21, so I can check the changes in the shadow on the solstices [...]

November 21, 2010 Bryce was determined to build a snowman out of the little bit of snow we received Sunday evening, Nov. 21st. This was up on the porch. Colton is 10 months old now and is a gentle soul. Bryce and Kylie did the dishes after my birthday dinner. Their dad cooked BBQ chicken [...]
