We're taking out the grass between the sidewalk and fence as it's an odd place to need mowing.  It's going to get rocks instead.

It's warm enough I can leave the plants outside in the greenhouse.

We went walking in the woods and found a swarm of honeybees up in a tree.

Apples are starting to bloom now.

We put up the greenhouse.  It's near the nest of the robin that's on the fence in the background.  We go out to the greenhouse and she yells at us while we're there.

At this time of spring the grape leaves look like flowers.

The clover I planted last fall also has some wildflower seeds so there's a few cosmos flowers now.

Dandelions are starting their annual takeover of our yard.

It warmed up a bit so I sent the kids outside to do some work.

These are on the second peach tree we have.  It's a different variety than the other.  The flowers have smaller petals and are a different color of pink.

It was surprising we had relatively clear skies for the eclipse.  It's been cloudy and raining ever since.

For a little bit both the male and female woodpeckers were visiting my feeder.

The peach trees are in full bloom.  This one has very pretty pink blooms.

The solar eclipse happened today and we were in the path of totality.  It was a really exciting experience.  We had totality for about 3 minutes.  I'm including pictures I took, a 360 degree image my son took with his drone, and a time-lapse video from his drone.

We had to take down some cabinets to fit both fridge and freezer in the kitchen.
 

April 6, 2024

Our second fridge only lasted 5 1/2 years, and the third lasted 6 1/2 years.  Our first, from 29 years ago, is still working in our basement but we wanted a larger capacity upstairs.  This time we picked out the least complicated fridge we could find- so simple, it is either a fridge or a freezer, it does not do both.  We already had one in the basement set to the freezer temp so bought a second for a fridge.  The inside shelves and baskets are horribly spaced but we're going to make it work.

We had some hard snow for a little bit.  Then the sun came back out briefly.

We're having lots of rain again.
 

April 2, 2024

We need a new fridge as our latest one is not cold enough.
