Spring in the Okanagan

Windy day hike

good feather find

The rattle snakes are awake!

excuse the thumb!

Out in the garden today.  Felt like spring was here....finally.  I planted some fresh herbs in the garden beds and a few lettuce.  My peas are about 2" high and the radishes are showing themselves.  
I was looking through some older pictures and found this one of our thanksgiving offerings for turkey diner.  Potatoes, wine, cranberry sauce and if those Zinnias aren't impressive.....
Zinnias rock my world. 
Also lets not only admire eggs at Easter.  Even in their plain brown shells they are extraordinary.

Wow, I don't know how that just happend.  I posted that picture in the last post and it was large and beautiful.  I'll try another....

a friends beautiful babies

I'm a bit distracted by a big furry creature that has come into our life.  Lots of hikes in the past few days.    Thought I would post the Valentines card I made J this year.  I am seasonally out of wack....oh well.

Viva Mexico!! Playing with some Skeletons.
Loaf success and our little fire worshiper. Still have the fire on in the evening.

Spring is in the air! The studio has been cleaned out and the heater is plugged in. Did some house cleaning and sorting. Finished one of those moleskin "letter book" things to send off. I am thinking of sending more snail mail this year as I seem to be allergic to all things electronic. Had a great lunch break. I'm loving the sourdough bread I've been pumping out lately thanks to a bread class and MANY ours of experimenting.Snuck in one easter picture too!
