We scared up some baby bunnies when we mowed the yard.  We caught 3 of them and took them to the woods, far away from my gardens, and where we mow.

I've been making some more signs this week.

We got some roly clouds this evening.

This is the dogwood my oldest got in preschool.  This year it has a lot of nice blooms.

My daughter was late getting home.  They had a substitute driver today and I wondered if he had missed our house.  I went outside and looked down the road and could see school bus yellow that wasn't moving, and another family standing out at the end of their driveway.  I rode my bike down, confirming it was our late bus, but there weren't any kids on board, this happened between routes.  I'm not sure how he ended up there- technically, that's the next township.  Our kids showed up on a different bus shortly.  After a while I saw the bus drive by, so apparently it wasn't damaged, just stuck... across the entire road.

The ground in the woods is very green right now.

I saw three deer this morning in the front yard.

I heard that Peeps are good toasted over a fire, as the sugar gets nice and crystallized.  We tried it today, they said it was good.

Today was time for the annual egg coloring.

I went to a lumber mill and got a pallet of end cuts- short pieces that get cut off ends when they cut something else to size, or there might be some flaw.  It had a lot of poplar, a good bit of oak, some walnut, a little maple, hickory, and cherry.  At $80, it's the cheapest way for me to get wood to make little signs.

The dew had formed big drops on all the blades of grass this morning.

Pear blossoms.

It got warm today, so we went for a walk.

My peach trees are starting to bloom.

Our electric went out around 6:10 this morning.  At 6:30 I took my son out to wait by the road for the bus.  Good thing I brought my phone, as school called at 6:48 to cancel school due to power outages around town.  That is the latest they've called off school.  Later, we got a recorded call from the high school principal basically saying school is cancelled, and if you dropped off your kids, they're there with her, come get them.

My garlic is growing well this spring.

My daughter made a bag from duct tape.

My son rolled the yard today.  He'll probably have to do it a few more times to even it out better.

It was a light winter.  He only plowed snow for two or three storms.
