Finally the rain has stopped, and they can polyurethane Stephen's boat!

 Stirring...

Ben planted these daffodils, but didn't tell us -- what a fun surprise!

Spring is truly here!

Leaves start to unfurl...

This black bird was on the silver pond a few mornings ago (a beautiful contrast)...

Whoops -- down it goes! ;)

We've been seeing this cropduster alot lately!

Our new living room rug! :)

A flower that means "spring" to me: redbud. :)

Mom's pansies

Essential oil diffuser

The boat is being carried for its maiden voyage!

Andrew going back to work

It touches the water for the first time...

Wow! It works! :)

The three of them each took a turn in it!

Sheriff

Unicycle lessons

Oooh!

Reflected gold

The W's came to dinner :)

 

On our way to ICR Volunteer Day, Stephen spotted this car.

Getting ready to listen to the guest speaker after the morning's work

A great talk!

Stephen came for the first time -- he was a hard worker!

The two other workers at my table. :) Such fun to work together!

That evening, I went with Andrew on a pick-up for a customer -- special to have time together!

These pics are blurry (taken out of a moving truck) but they capture some of the lushness!

Winching the mower on...

This is probably the fuzziest picture I've ever posted (so sorry!) but I love the contrasts and colors -- the silver-blue water, the orange-brown trees (catching the last beams of the sun), the green...

I'll close with what Micah's doing this evening -- flying his R/C plane!
