Busy at the Black Bear...


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! :)

Happy Autumn from the Three Amigos!


This afternoon we had a visit from the three amigos. With all of the bear publicity lately, i thought it only fair to give these serene creatures some limelight. Its a joy to watch them...even if they were eating my columbines. At this time of year, it doesnt really matter...nibble away ladies!

The Sustainable Living Fare was a huge success, and Justin made many contacts. Jordyn really seemed to enjoy herself too. Here she is covered in chocolate, helping daddy break down the booth.

I purchased a new Halloween tablecloth yesterday, and this morning i set it out to see how it looks...Jordyn really seems to like it.
Anyways, Happy Autumn everyone~
cheers~
Justin, Lisa and Jordyn (the other three amigos :)
