Lots of planting today (lots of dandelions too).

Checking on the hive (lost 4 hives over the winter, and we are so glad to have this one!).

 Someone left a bit of cardboard on the floor and Miss Maggie had to try it out.

Apple blossoms! 

 Molly's cone just came off!

 The surrounding field is all green now (looks like some kind of a grain).

 Apple blossoms (they always tend to bloom when it is windy).

 Saw this at the local garbage dump today.

 Miss Maggie after rolling around and scratching the post.

 I can't believe that we finished this - a real family project.

 More flowering trees.

 Lots of busy bees on the plum trees.

All fun and games until someone ends up in a cone - Miss Molly had a run in with a muskrat and needed stitches.

 A plague of Grackles this morning.

 Rays for the morning walk.

 Haze from forest fires out west.

 First 30ºC day of the summer, and I guess this was a cool spot to sleep in the shade.

 Molly's stick floated away when she went for a drink - she tried but just couldn't swim to get it.

 Molly found a big stick.

 Sunrise.

 So many Tundra Swans heading north this morning.

 Lots of thunder this evening.

 The hive is buzzing, and the bees have found flowers (one bee returning with pollen on her legs).

 Noisy geese.

 You can tell how high the snow was by where the rabbits nibbled at the willow branches.

 Planting the field across the road.

 Warm spring day. Planting is starting in some fields.

 First flower in the garden - Striped Squill (just a bit of snow left in shady spots in the yard).

 Flock of swans this morning.

 A visit to the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada today.

 Canada Geese on the pond.
