Signs of Life





A pair of Chickadees decided to take advantage of one of the birdhouses in the garden to start a little family. It's been fun watching them work so hard to keep the babies fed. Of course they would pick the year when the neighborhood is under construction. We decided to try to foil the deer by putting a up a fence. Yay...no more "Gitmo Garden" with all the wire cages!! Made for some disruptions in the feeding schedule but the little ones don't seem to have suffered much. Isn't Spring fun!?!

This is just wrong...


...on so many levels. May 8th and we get SNOW!?! We even hosted a pistol match which meant shooting with parkas and gloves (hey it is PRACTICAL Pistol after all!). Actually also had a match the weekend before and we were sweating to death. Go figure.
