My new neice!  She arrived very early this morning.

I walked back in the woods today.  There are lots of this yellow flower growing back there.

My weeping cherry tree keeps growing over the edge of the mulch.  I keep expanding the mulch area.  This year I added nearly 2 feet.  Originally, the mulch edge was way back where those daffodils are still located.

Now, we can see the barn, and the right half of the back yard again.

The trees we had around the deck blocked our view of the barn, so we took them out today.

Last fall we made a ramp for our dog, as she was having trouble getting up the stairs in her old age.

I ordered two pecan trees.  They came in a tall box, even though they themselves are kind of puny.  Hopefully, in a decade (or two, based on how small these are), I'll have my own pecans.

We got the final inspection on the barn and can start moving in.  We moved cabinets and tables into it today.

Today my oldest went to state competition.  He had to be at school at 5 A.M. (it's so nice that we live just a few minutes from his school).  He'll stay at a hotel tonight and come back tomorrow.

I have purple crocus, and white crocus.  Now, I have a few that are white with purple veins.

I made peanut butter eggs.  My daughter wanted to put sprinkles in the bow, and it worked.

Here are some of the eggs that we colored.  The kids had fun drawing designs on them.
