Dear Reader,

Welcome to our home this Monday morning! We hope your weekend was restful and well-spent. It is a cloudy, rainy day today, so we are grateful that we took the time yesterday to go for a walk around our property (We own a little over an acre) yesterday to see how everything fared through the winter.

Would you care to join us?

What's this? The track of a big, bad wolf?

Nope, just a big, bad "woof"!

The gophers certainly have been busy! They and the voles seem to have a "most tunnels" contest going.

The birds have done a good job at cleaning the sunflower heads.

Audrey's fairy house has fared well through the cold (Anybody home?)


This cabbage remnant looks a little like a fossil, doesn't it?

The critters missed these two ears of "Black Aztec" corn.

And the buds on the pussy willows show promise of spring.

Can you spot a mouse in the big cloud?He's looking to the left.
We hope that you enjoyed our little walk through the early spring happenings at our home. Although we would rather be soaking up the sunshine on a sunny beach, Nature in all her forms is very healing.

Love,

Marqueta
"Go abroad
Upon the paths of Nature, and, when all
Its voices whisper, and its silent things
Are breathing the deep beauty of the world,
Kneel at its simple altar, and the God
Who hath made the living waters shall be there."
-N. P. Willis
