| Lydia played the sneaky bunny this morning, and I opened my eyes to this little cotton tail. |
 |
| Good morning chicks! |
 |
| Banana Sticky Buns for breakfast. |
 |
| Scrambled eggs with cheese and grapefruit too. |
 |
| I handed off the camera. I was there too! |
 |
| Ahh... a close up even. |
 |
| One of the kids took this. Cool fish bowl pic. |
 |
| What are the odds? The kids found the golden egg AND the golden ticket. |
 |
| This was Lydia looking for a golden ticket at a Saturday egg hunt in the city park. |
 |
| Some downtown ducks in their Easter bonnets. |
 |
| Home Depot has fun free kids' workshops, first Saturdays and special days. |
 |
| Check it out if you have a Home Depot close by. Bug houses here. Bird feeders next Saturday! |
 |
| Sunny and bright one moment and cold white fog the next. |
 |
| Bulbs on right were planted in the sunshine before the fog rolled in. |
 |
| We drove right into this fog bank after baseball practice on Friday afternoon, dramatic enough for the kids to say, "Whoa!" |
 |
| The butterfly pocket held the clue to my birthday number. |
 |
| Present time. |
 |
| Blooming bulbs I chose for myself at the nursery. |
 |
| Cake Lighting |
 |
| Marshal prompted Gabe to not leave the noise out. |
 |
| I still have breath, but glad the candles are a "symbolic" number. |
 |
| 2 takes of the cake. What's the saying, "Eat your heart out?" Lydia is our little baker. |
 |
| We came home with an unexpected box of tweets. |
 |
| Three Marans and a Delaware - Marin, Mary, Marty, and Adele. |
 |
| Brought treasures, chicks and flowers home. The weeping willow has her spring green. |
 |
| Cat taking a nap said he would not be disturbed. |
 |
| Deliciously warm temperature. |
 |
| The Doves |
 |
| Cubbies of Terra cotta pots. |
 |
| Lydia with the "plastic" flowers. |
 |
| Gabe in the conservatory. |
 |
| Head in a tree. |
 |
| Previewed presents wrapped. We were scurrying with birthday excitement this morning. |
 |
| Lydia baked up the oven pancake with a little contribution from each of us. |
 |
| Birthday Girl |
 |
| Best one ever. I cut the apples, butter, and cinnamon for the bottom. Gabe insisted on the sixth big, yellow-yolked egg. Lydia beat the eggs and honey extra long. Dad took it out of the oven? |
 |
| Too scrumptious not to share. |
 |
| Orchard pruning job complete. Marshal asked for a picture with his pile, and Gabe had just put on his baseball pants, readying for practice. |
 |
| Lydia is in the house baking a cake. She chose raspberry, banana, kiwi, and peach for the filling. |
 |
| Whip cream embellishments. |
 |
| Someone's Birthday Cake coming up. |
 |
| Wrapping up the birthday cake job - present for Mom. |
 |
| Gabe mowed around the garden beds. |
 |
| Bulbs salvaged from the chickens' digging this fall. |
 |
| Pruned orchard with a couple new trees. |
 |
| BB Target shooting. Gabe's favorite past time. |
