Blogger Catch up- Spring Project

I bought this pond boat at an antique fair.  Rick replaced the mast and built a base for it.

I made a Fairy Garden in it. 

Welcome Fairies!

Blogger Catch Up- Gone Fishin'

Back in the spring we joined the Cub Scout Pack out at Camp Falling Rock for a little spring fishing. It was a beautiful warm, sunny day- just right for fishing. 

Rick got the poles all set up and luckily the very considerate fish in the Boy Scout Camp pond liked hotdogs better than worms.  We fished and fished and fished...

And took some snack breaks

Will broke the ice by catching a lovely catfish 

(who knew those fish made a mad growling noise?!

who knew fish made noise?!)

Soren and I hiked around the camp a bit to take in the other natural sights

Will could not be persuaded to leave the pond and he and Rick caught fish after fish late into the evening.

We're calling that a fishing success. To this day, that is Will's lucky fishing shirt.

Happy Easter

Easter in Bedford was rainy and cold.  

But the day before Easter was sunny and beautiful and we dressed up in our Easter best for some family pictures, something my brother, Ed, has wanted to do for a long time.

Knowing the weather would be iffy, the Easter Bunny hid eggs on Grandma's porch so that we could stay warm and dry during the egg hunt.

Thanks, Easter Bunny!
