Bear and I got a nice walk and time outside this morning – in between rain showers. But it is gray and overcast, the air is heavy with the promise of more rain and it is a good day for napping.

As far as Bob is concerned, every day is a good day for napping! He has taken to spending a good part of his day in Wild Thing. It is warm, the accomodations are to his liking, he can survey the territory from the vantage point of a bit of height and there is no dog…

Elsewhere, the Lily-of-the-Valley grow – seemingly as I watch. Blooms next week maybe!

As thunder rumbled

After 2 days in the 80’s…the 80’s!!! – in April!!!! – it cooled to the low 70’s today. But the hot weather spurred the growth of everything. The woods plants are leafed out. And the Lily-of-the-valley above – they were barely shoots a week ago.

This afternoon, after a morning of sunshine, the sky turned dark and thunder rumbled. No lightning close and the thunder was only a rumble, except for one loud clash.

Bear paid attention but he has not been disturbed by thunder or gunshots as Karl was.

And Bob… his food is in its place. All is right in his world :)!

Sunday morning

A new bread got Sunday off to a delicious start. It is not a high moisture artisanal bread as I’ve been making, but nearly as easy. Although it does use yeast, there is no knead and rise cycle. Mix everything together, spoon it into a breadpan, let it rise for 30 minutes and bake. See Heidi Swanson of 101 Cookbooks’ Easy little bread recipe … aptly named!

Outside, the sunny morning allowed the emerging larch needles to glow chartreuse against a deep blue sky.

Bear and I had a walk around the woods in the cool of the morning. (It got to 73F by afternoon – hot by Bear and my standards!)

And Bob shared the front porch with me as I finished my last cup of coffee.

Sunday morning.

Naptime

Saturday afternoon…sunshine and warm temperatures.

Grass, sun, warm ground…Bob

Grass, shade, cool dug out dirt…Bear

***Today, Sunday: it snowed all morning, then melted and the high was 43 compared to Saturday’s 57.

Easter Sunday

A beautiful sunrise started our Easter Sunday.

Bear kept me company in the kitchen…

And Easter breakfast was had before a small fire: Lemon Blueberry Cornmeal pancakes, egg in a hashbrown nest and sausage. Both breakfast and the woodstove warmed up a morning that started cool at 28F.

But before noon, it felt warm and eventually the thermometer hit 54F.

Bob partook of sunshine in the front yard…

And kept an eye on a small butterfly. (Butterflies are one of his favorite things :)! )

Wishing all a happy and Blessed Easter, from Bob, Bear and me.
