Of Work and Play

What beautiful, spring weather! I hope everyone else is having as fair weather and warm sunshine as we are. I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's about sixty or seventy degrees outside right now. Perfect for being outside whether working or playing. Here are some pics of what our clan has been up to on this fine day.

Here's Jake dragging fallen branches from the willow tree down to the stick pile, the place where all unwanted branches go.

After a while he got tired and decided to take one stick at a time. Just joking! Some of the branches had poky thorns on them so he's being really careful. What a good helper he is!

Here's dear sister Cait wandering around with her herb basket, collecting who knows what to store away for her doctoring tinctures and teas. Yes, I know what she uses that stuff for. I'm one of the poor victims she practices on. LOL! (just joking, Cait).

"What? You want to take my picture? Oh, fine!" Yes, she actually let me take her picture! Amazing, I know. She looks very reluctant to have her picture taken, doesn't she? :D

Here's Dad toying and tinkering with the lawn mower, trying to get working again. Jake looks on in awe, in a respectful silence. :D Dad's efforts were not in vain, though. He got the mower up and running and I do believe he's out there mowing as we speak, er, write. :D

Ah, here's Emily labouring industriously at those pesky weeds. Go girl!

Is she glaring at me!? "Megan, did you just take my picture? You did!? Aaaarrrrgh!"

Little Carver out looking to do good. Or is he? Out of his way! Baby on a mission here!

"Here ya' go Emmy!"

"Ya' gotta' put your back into it! Heave ho!"

That's all for now!
