+My wake up walks continue to be an awesome addition to my day. I love how instantly grateful these walks make me feel. Grateful for bird songs, grateful for the grass that is getting greener every day, grateful for lilac buds. I start my day filled to overflowing with gratitude and that's the best part of these walks.
+Rory is back in his office. This makes for a very fun destination when we need to go find an adventure. Except for the time I sent both kids out there to say hello and he was on an important phone call.
+The chicks are in the garage! There is no cover on their cage and thankfully all cats seem disinterested. But I am so grateful to have access to my downstairs bathroom again! The smell was keeping this pregnant woman from utilizing that bathroom which is tricky when this pregnant woman has a baby sitting on her bladder all day long.
+This lovely weather has brought back lots of farm walks to check on everything. Our apple trees look great after a long winter. Unfortunately our second hive of honey bees did not survive the winter. Our bee keeping friend inspected the hive and was happy to report there was no foul brood or other signs of disease. It seems the queen didn't survive and without her, the hive would slowly die out. We will try again this year, eager to continue to grow our own bee-keeping knowledge.
+Ivar got a new set of wheels! Auntie Lisa brought this bike over yesterday after she cleaned out her garage. The tread on those wheels were made for the country! Ivar can ride it on the gravel, on the grass and even in our field. He loves it so much.
+It's time for this barn to come down. We're looking into all sorts of options for the barn wood, but I think we're all ready. It's pretty, it makes for charming pictures, but it's not super safe and it's just time.
+Rory is in full swing, dreaming up the plans for the summer ahead, sketching out the next projects, making many visits to Menards each week. At one point this winter he told me that he didn't think this spring and summer would be nearly as busy as the last few years, and that made me laugh a bit. So far, he is busier and has bigger plans than ever. It makes for a full and exciting life. :)
+Our farm cats have been quite cooperative with our kids. I find it pretty remarkable. In this game, our kids kept stuffing Thomas the cat into the mobile chicken coop, closing the door and then opening it and watching him shoot out like a rocket. They laughed so hard every time he would shoot out of that little door. And the cat kept letting himself be caught. I would have felt badly for the cat, but he's a cat. He can run, climb trees, hiss, scratch and run away. And since he never did any of those things, the game continued.
