Lots of fun going on up here lately! Today, we were visited by the deer...we have to keep a close watch on them...they like to eat my flowers. Last year i enjoyed my grape hyacinths for about 3 days before they gobbled em up, but this year they have been going strong...and i want to keep it that way. The best defense...send Jordyn outside, she spooks em in no time!
With the combination of rain and sunshine, our surroundings are finally turning green, so Jordyn helped Daddy mow the meadow. With the opening of the ditches comes even more fun (and laundry for me), as little miss will go thru about 3-4 wardrobe changes in a day...all soaking wet and muddy!
With all the time being spent outside, i stalled out on Berdenas Quilt. Its quilted together though and just needs binding, so its almost done. My goal was mothers day, but i played all weekend instead! Besides, i had to take some time out to make this addition to the swing set. It needed a little spicing up, so i dragged out some old wood, the saw, the drill, a little red paint...and presto...a climbing wall!
In other Black Bear news...remember our beehive we got last June? Well, sadly we lost the hive sometime in January...we think the queen died, but they did leave us one large jar of honey...yum! We have the beehive all cleaned out though, and are awaiting another colony. We hope to get our new bees earlier this time, as the flowers are starting to bloom, so they may have a better chance of establishing themselves! Wish us luck! :)

Wow, it must have gotten warm, your girl is in her bathing suit!
Did i mention that two days after we got her pool out it was 28 degrees and the water was frozen...gotta love the weather in Colorado! :)
That climbing wall looks great fun - everything is greening up so beautifully out there with you
Your little girl is so sweet! What a wonderful life you have given her :o) Hang in there with the flowers.... the deer were voracious over the winter here. So many shrubs got eaten. I know they are hungry... but WHY mine? lol.
Wow, that climbing wall looks like so much fun!!! Bet your girl will love it. Sorry about the deer having a smorgasbord at your expense LOL. We have that same problem in Missouri. If they weren't such beautiful animals, a person could get upset with them!!!!
amazing the difference with all that snow so recently ! Glad Jordyn can enjoy the water and mud. even if that does mean lots of washing !
Wow what a difference a few weeks make...it wasn't that long ago you were posting very very snowy pictures.
What a treat to be visited by the deer...that has to be special.
