April 13 - 21

April 13
Shona being her usual silly self.


April 14
Our new front porch lights. Kind of nautical looking, no?


April 15
This was the surprise beneath our propane lid. All I wanted to do was check the propane level, but nope. Not going to happen until mama robin delivers those little baby birds.


April 16
Ah, the pain of the first yard cleanup following winter. So many sticks and limbs in the way of the mower. And why is it that this job always winds up primarily mine?


April 17
Finally got it mowed and it looks much better. Pretty soon the rains will get rid of the brown spots and we will be back to a lush, green lawn.


April 18
A cute little Hobby Lobby purchase. Shona wanted her name on the front of her door and so that's what she got!


April 19
Suddenly, without warning, Shona was able to ride without training wheels. Just like that. They grow up so fast.

Bonus picture because I'm so dang proud of that girl.


April 20
Shona begged for a Topsy Turvey tomato planter. Honest engine. She really did. Of course we had to get one and so far it's doing well.


April 21
She also has a little garden growing on the deck. I'd love to rip up some ground for a real garden except there is a sprinkler system already in our yard. Certainly would make for easy watering, though. Ha.

More later with the catching up. It's been a stressful week. I'm amazed to be this caught up!
