On sunny days and rainy days.....



Spring has finally arrived here in the Chilcotin and everything is a glorious shade of green. We have received a lot more rain this year than in previous years. Hopefully that means that we won't have as many many forest fires this summer.


On the rainy days.....


1) I finally started scrap booking again, now that Claire has settled into a routine. I have had a collection of old papers, letters and photos that I found in an attic some time ago and now I am attempting to put them into a scrapbook. Here is a sneak peek:



2) I cleared out my craft room: (this is the BEFORE photo)




.... and painted the floor to brighten up the space a bit: (the AFTER photo)



3) Have had a lot of picnics on the floor with my girls:



4) Finger painting..




On the sunny days we have been....


1) Planting our garden:This year we have three gardens and a greenhouse, so we are going to be swimming in vegetables.



2) Getting acquainted with the newest addition to the family: A five month old treeing walker hound. Nathaniel named him Chester.



3) Enjoying bright blue skies and fields of weeds... I mean flowers.



4) Going to the lake.



5) Playing with the mud (there is a lot of it here when it rains).



6) Digging out garden bed for my flowers: I started this one when I was 10 days overdue with Claire and I only just started to tackle it again.

Your girls are so adorable and your craft room is really brightened up with the floor painted! Wow! I couldn't help but recognize the picnic table on your deck. Have I seen it at your Parent's house?

How is your puppy? I think you are very brave for taking on a puppy when Claire is so new. Is he potty trained?

Been thinking of you as I planted sunflowers too ;0)
