The Logging

A year ago or so, my mom had some of her forest logged, and most of my sister have not seen the changes yet, so this post is for them. A log pile somewhere in the back 20.

Looking towards the back of the arena from where the original gate to the back 20 was.

From the bottom of the back 20, looking up the hill that leads back to the barn.

Looking down into the bottom of the back 20.

The red dirt is where all the stump where buried. This at the top of the hill that lead down the hill in the back 20.

The buried stump patch.

The new pasture, behind the arena. Picture was taken from where the back 20 gate was. Grass was planted.

Walking towards the back 20 from the back of the arena.

Back of the arena.

The oak tree staight ahead is the one that we would climb in and had the big horizontal branches. This shows the new fence line.

New fencing just outside the back of the indoor arena and looking to the right towards the outdoor arena and that tree. This area keeps the horses away from the gate, so there is no mud here.

Taken from same place, arena back gate, but looking straight ahead. This is the gate to the new back pasture.

Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma's

On you marks.....get set....... go! The kids were lined up and ready to hunt for about 400 eggs! No candy in them of course, they would get some of that later. With only 5 kids hunting, each kids got to find tons of eggs. They especially loved the ones with money in them, thanks uncle Brian!

The Tulip Farm

We visited again, and I love it every year. The only problem is the cold! It has been soooo cold this April. But at least the sun was shining.

Eggs, Eggs, and more Eggs

We have to dye the Easter eggs! The kids are so attached to their eggs they won't eat them, or let me crack them and use them. I've tried to explain they will eventually spoil. This first picture is their silly faces.

Silly Static

This picture speaks for itself. This is 100% static!

My Pear Tree

I'm so excited about my pear tree! It's loaded in blossoms. Last year it had a few, this year there on tons! Hopefully they turn into pears.

Spring Finally

We had to get outside and enjoy a day with no rain, although it is still cold.
