Little critters

Last night we found out why we've had a hole in our firepit. We tried filling the hole with water, we've burned and still we have 4 new baby bunnies that are popping their heads out. They are so cute! 1/2 domestic (from the neighbors) and 1/2 wild!

Here are a couple pictures of the little critters.

May 2010

Spring is such a busy time for us! Okay, we are always busy but spring seems the busiest! We are getting the garden ready and trying to get all the things in the yard done so we can enjoy summer. Oh, we are also finishing up the school year which means lots of extra activities.


This picture cracks me up of Mack...he doesn't know why he's hunting eggs but he found one and is very excited about it!

Lachlan's class went on a beach walk last week. It was a blast! The volunteers from WSU were so awesome. I've decided it would be something I would really enjoy when the kids are gone in 16-20 years :)....can someone remind me because I have a feeling my brain will be gone by then! Anyway, off track there, the beach walk was great. Next week we go see the tall ships and a play. The following week it's off to the Aquarium in Seattle. Then there are just a couple more before the year ends! We are all excited for summer!

VISIONS big yearly benefit auction is this wkend and I will be very happy when that is finished for another year! It's been a lot of work but I think it will be really great!
The weather around here has been anything but spring-like. It's been very cool and just when the sun comes out I think "okay, I might be able to get some of that Vitamin D stuff" I go outside and it is just too cold...then I get grumpy. I would like some warm sunshine!

In spite of the weather we've been finishing up the landscaping! I've been waiting 5 years to get it done and now it is so close! All the hard work is finished and I am buying and placing plants. I want it to look just right so it takes time! I can't have anything too tall because it would block our view. So, it's almost there! I think I have most of the main plants in and will fill in here and there through the years.

Rocks are in!

Everything done but the plants!

We took our new (old) trailer out for the first time last wkend. What a ball. We went to Deception Pass State Park for just one night. The boys were beyond giddy! Mack was so excited too even though he didn't know why. He just kept saying "trailer"...smile. The night went well and we are excited to use it again next week at Fort Ebey. Cross your fingers for good weather!

Beautiful light!


The garden is growing as it should despite the weather. We are eating spinach out of it and lettuce will be ready in a few days. I'm anxious to get everything planted but it's too soon yet. Another 1-3 weeks if the weather warms up.


Another veggie garden (we now have 2)
