keep your eyes open

Tonight just around dusk as we headed back into town after our evening drive to buy good friday pops.  The most unexpected event crossed our path.  The car in front of us clipped a moose.  How lucky we are.  My husband with his superman abilities pulled our car to an easy stop in just enough time to allow the moose to spring back to it's feet and cross in front of our car before darting off into the woods.  Thank god the car in front of us didn't hit it straight on and thank god no one was behind us when this all happened.  Just remember that we are always fringing on the wild side.

It has been a good Friday

I love long week-ends especially when the weather is perfect.  I love spring and this year it has come early.  Yippie!!!!!  The seedlings are planted and the Crocuses are just starting to bloom in time for easter.  

To start this easter week-end off right we took Ollie, our puppy, for a long walk down by the mill.  I took my camera along and snapped some great shots of him with his beaver stick that he pulled out of the creek.  The pussywillows are blooming and my hubbie found me a great treasure for the garden.  I'm so excited. 

Today was a perfect start to getting our yard back into shape and reclaim it's beauty and potential.  We have ways to go but it will be fun getting there.  Especially with all the cool things we have collected along the way.
