Deere, deere, deere...






Lloyd has named his tractor Bertha!!! He wanted to call it Dorothy but he can't - my Orchid is called Dorothy!

Jasper on the well....




Preparing the vegetable garden





Ok Jennifer, I think Lloyd is now obsessed - he decided today that he needed to clear the snow from the vegetable garden so that it melts there faster and we can get it dug up and add the new soil he is ordering.....I tried explaining that its only February and we tend to get more snow in March than any other month but he seemed to think it was still a good idea.....I guess he had fun anyway :) The snow drifts are to the top of our raspberry bushes!!! You can only see the very tops of the tallest ones! The strawberry patch is completely gone lol!

Sunflowers in the snow.......


Playing with my camera...



Jasper



Charlie....



Charlie has been on the porch all morning, enjoying the good weather :) We used a bed base for a catwalk yesterday at the party, and now it is sitting on the porch waiting to be moved - so Charlie has decided it makes a nice place to lounge about on all day :)

Little Wonders....

Family day....

A lovely lazy day so far - although if Lloyd had his way we would be up, dressed and busy doing things by 7am groooooaaaaan but I got my way for a while and we sat in bed watching tv and drinking coffee until 10am :)

Laurence slept over at his friends house last night - we have to go pick him up later....and tonight we plan to all watch the Last Mimzy together - Susie got the dvd from a friend for her birthday yesterday.

Apart from that we are just relaxing at home - we may go for a drive out to Elk Island later....but most probably will hang out here instead.

I hope you are all having a good Family Day.
