 A bird bath came out of winter storage, and the chickens had to come check it out.

 More tornado warnings today. Again there were a couple in the area, but we didn't see any (tornadoes are very unusual for us).

There was a tornado warning for our area, so we were keeping an eye out (we didn't see anything, but a couple touched down in that direction).

 I had helpers while I was digging out weeds in the garden this morning.

We finished one side of the roof, and stripped the second side today (I had to tie on my hat because it was a bit windy).

This is the first time I have removed shingles (not the first time putting shingles on), and these tear off spades work great. The fact I had three scary dreams about sliding down the roof last night, might have made me overly cautious on the roof today, but we got lots done.

 The start of a new project - roofing! The shingles on the south side were in really rough shape compared to the ones in the photo on the north side.

We saw this down the road today - someone was scraping the black dirt that had blown into the ditch, during the strong winds we had last week, back on to the field.

 Today we found, and marked the queen (only one hive survived the winter from the five last year - honey bees aren't native to Canada, so it is always a gamble).

 New project, more towels. These ones are all about how the colours in the warp interact with the weft colours.

 You would think there was only one nesting box in the coop!
