spring pick-me-ups

There is much to create, make this acreage yard into something home-y and 

the septic tank is an eyesore and the location is right by our deck.

  Planter was created by none other than my-man-about-the-house!

I will plant some colorful flowers and green spiky annuals in it this weekend.

If rain is minimal this year then I better take pictures of our pond
with birds using it.  I don't know how long it will stay full!





Acreages are a tremendous amount of work and this property is new and
hubby and I are getting more senior in years.  Rome was not built in one season that's
for sure!

62 good as new

"they say it's your birthday

it's my birthday too, yeah

they say it's your birthday

we're gonna have a good time

I'm glad it's your birthday

Happy Birthday to you!"

...and so on

(the Beatles birthday song)

I love this cake because, it is healthy and soooo easy

to put together (all ingredients pulsed in a blender)

icing is coconut milk, monk fruit sugar powder, unsalted butter, cocoa powder, vanilla

can't go wrong with this brownie desert!

 woke up this morning and pond is completely

melted!

my friend Shirley got me a friendship rose quartz

it's sitting in the sun on my dining room window

my husband installed a new shower head and it is heaven to stand

under as the sprays are like gentle rain and the massager  mode is so

relaxing - cool gift!

Off to Mr. Mikes for supper...

today is my birthday...yeah yeah

I feel good...yeah yeah

Enjoy this earth day birthday like it is a new

beginning!

melting finally - the pond

I'm just as relieved and

excited for spring to be here as anyone,so the melt is on.

This is the 3 year old colt who just stood here

for about 20 minutes and I yakked and chatted with

him, he is usually chasing the mares' but at this time I had

his full listening attention!

I hope this burnt-orange nose stays as it is a unique

marking

simple video of our pond today

swooping floop

Pelican in pond this morning....

very cool,

of course I go out to take

photo

and it swoops away!

usually other pelicans follow,

    a loner this morning it was.

I think I need to swoop away for a

reprieve!

It rained yesterday and

that was awesome!

My watering can workouts

can stop for now.

  Feels like I

need to land somewhere different for a

little while?

spring vibes

Spring is showing itself

with sunny blue skies.

We have a new colt at our

acreage.

Bruschetta is the mare on

the right (now named Grace), so muddy in this picture;

she needs her hooves clipped

and picture taken

as she is going up for sale

on some horse sale websites

here is a nicer pic of Grace (previously named Bruschetta)

she is a beautiful horse with a

good nature.

This colt is an interesting colour

a burnt orange colored nose

with gold hues showing through

his dark brown fur.

his name is Shutler (sp) (I do not know what it means) I'm going to call him
"new brown' horse!

blue skies
new horses
it's changing the energy around here
I like that!

my lake in Nov

you need to know how much I love having this pond on our property

 can see it out of our dining room and kitchen window

 it just felt like a little lake today

with its own shore and foamy shore buildup
