Welcome to Spring?

Spring? What's that? Oh yea ... time for snow - and lots of it! We had around 16 inches of wet snow last Friday and Saturday. It started with beautiful clouds and ended with Bruce on the tractor for over five hours helping neighbors dig out of their driveways. Yes, that's him on his little John Deere tractor. Although beautiful, it was a mess and still is. Our poor dogs didn't quite know how to handle it. But now its back up in the 50's for the rest of the week and the snow is melting fast - which means the ground is really soaked. Good for the wheat farmers but not so good for our little garden - we can't even see it yet! We love the mid-west! Gotta be flexible.

Garden Show

We went to the Wichita Home and Garden show last Saturday. Pretty fun. Since we still pretty much have a blank slate we're hoping to come up with some fun ideas to beautify our home. It was a fun day.How about this water feature for the back yard?



Janice makes the flora and fauna look good!



Bruce finished the window seat in the dining area!
