The Swans have returned!

Spring is making another attempt.  This week we had two days of rain which reduced the fire danger to "Moderate."  The grasses and fields are beginning to green. Trees are showing the promise of leaves.  This morning while washing dishes and gazing out the window, I saw the first glimpse of the swan gliding across the water.  I was surprised to learn how many people watch for their return to our pond each spring.

Yesterday was Cole's 6th birthday.  The grandkids are not only cousins, but best friends.  They have a fantastic time when they are together!

DS-1 and DIL-1 had an awesome patio poured last fall.   Cole's birthday was the first special occasion for the fire pit.  We cooked brats and hot dogs over the fire.

  

Miss Kylie needed some extra Papa time when she arrived.  

 

Of course Tatum, Miss "Herbal Essence,"  also claimed her time with Papa when eating ice cream and cake. 

 Last Sunday afternoon I made the time to sew the flimsy for my newest granddaughter who will be arriving any day!  Tonight I hope to baste and quilt to get closer to finishing it on Sunday.
