Friday afternoon we got delivery of John’s new Kabota tractor. It came with a snowblower, bucket with hooks, a grass cutter and a temperature controlled cab. The blackflies will be very disappointed this year when John is cutting the grass. Bring on the landscape projects!

Today my friend Patty came over with her camera to take some wildflower photos. It was such a nice day we went down to the bush to see what was blooming this week. We managed to capture photos of various flowers, plants and fungi. Take a peek at the rest of my photos after the break. Continue reading
Tom was planting his corn today and while waiting for him to break for supper, I grabbed our camera and headed down to the bush to capture some wild-flowers. You can see my pictures in our picasa photo album. 4tgphotos/Springtime
The trilliums are in bloom as are the tulips, forsythia, forget-me-nots, hyacinths and the magnificent magnolia. I love spring. I hope that your garden is in full bloom too. Enjoy the moment.
With the weather, dry and sunny we had a visitor in the backyard today. We had our trees pruned and it was quite the sight to see. The arborist maneuvered the Black Locust limbs like a monkey. It cost us a bundle but it was well worth the entertainment and the tree needed the attention.
Oh, I could not resist to wish everyone a happy weekend working in the garden. The heat is on. We will all be basking in the warmth of the sun and raking to our hearts content, enjoying the first hint of Spring in Ontario.
Oh what a beautiful spring day in Chatham today. The weather got up to 26ºC, the sun was shining bright, and we could leave our winter coats in the closet. Tom was in his glory as he set out on his motorcycle for an inaugural 2007 spring ride around Kent County. I went to town and had lunch and spent the day with my friend Debbie. Laura went to visit Jason and walk his dog Odie. Even though we ended up going our separate ways today, we all had great fun.
On Saturday morning we got a message from our friend Tom T that the Tundra Swans were back from their short stay down south. They spent the night on Rondeau Bay and had moved up to a field on the Mull Side Road. Tom and I set out on a road trip to check out the flock. Tom had his zoom lens on his camera and got some pretty good shots of these regal birds. I goofed and got some good shots of the top of the truck’s sunroof. :blush: Continue reading
