This is April?

It has been unbelievably warm. I'm talking close to 80. At the beginning of April. Leaves that don't normally pop until closer to the middle/end of the month are uncurling, and we have been enjoying every minute of it. Its also been very windy, as is evidenced below:

First they blew one way....

Then the other.

I forget what this is, but if I remember right, its super invasive, and gets worse if you try to cut it down or burn it. Fortunately, its pretty, and has red berries later.

We have major muskrat problems.

Major.

Swamp Iris.

This photo is from Monday, these are almost fully leafed right now. I would have taken a picture today, but my camera battery is dead.

I happen to like dandelions. They look like little yellow stars everywhere.

My little daffy clump.

B. and the Little's out for a tramp.

Well, its one way to haul things...

She LOVES to carry my (empty) camera case around.

Hey Dog!

Sunglasses, all the time, everyday.

Baby Bump.

Rock throwing.

Kind of a funny story. Kind of.  

About 7 years ago, when B. and I were dating, he was throwing the Frisbee into the water and the dog would swim after it. Several times (it was rather cute actually, his showing off) he threw it all the way across the pond. Well, in what turned out to be the last time, the dog never found it. B even went to look for it, nothing. And that was that. Until yesterday. The children and I were out at the pond throwing rocks, when this funny looking round thing came floating closer and closer. Yep, the Frisbee had finally returned. I pulled it in with a stick, thinking B. would get a kick out of it. He didn't. Men sometimes. Anyway, I thought it was funny, so there you are.

They are calling for rain and a cool down this evening (by cool, I mean normal). I'll miss sleeping with the windows open, and opening up the house downstairs first thing in the AM, but it is after all, only early April.
