We won't be planting the garden today!

Humming Bird

The first humming birds have arrived on Grizzly Gulch!

Sweet Peas

Yesterday I cleaned the the edges of the garden of weeds and grass and put the sweet pea and pea seeds into bowls of water to soften the outer shell. This morning It was cool but sunny, a perfect day to plant the first seeds of the garden!

Winter Storm Watch

We are hoping the weather service is wrong! Our forsythia bush and daffodils are blooming!

Breakfast on the Deck

A beautiful morning on Grizzly Gulch calls for a veggie cheese omelette with fresh chive from the garden. The best part is that we could eat out on the north deck watching the babbling brook!

Transplanting

We transplanted Some of our seedlings today. Best thing to do on a snowy April day!

Easter Sunday

At the holding reservoir 

A long walk around the holding reservoir was a great way to spend a quiet Easter Sunday afternoon.  We saw nesting herons, ducks, geese, a musk rat, meadow lark, woodpecker and lots of other birds.  The water is very low so we could walk along the shore.  Just two days ago it was snowing.  We got 8 inches at our house.  The snow at our house was almost melted by the end of the day today!

A Beautiful Afternoon
