Our life living off the land in our log cabin, breathing fresh mountain air, and getting back to basics.

Delights of Early Spring

I'm getting ready to head out on a road trip early tomorrow morning, to visit with my girls and Liam...so excited to see them again!  Since I'll be away from the cabin for a bit, I thought I'd soak up as many of the delights early spring has to offer as possible...

A dandelion...
... & a little closer.

A white violet, I believe you can make jelly out of these as well (I don't know that for sure), but you wouldn't get the awesome color with these.

A variegated violet...so different!

Apple buds...
...and a blossom in progress.

Pear bloom.

Bumblebee on plum bloom.


Not sure what this is but I like it:)

Rhubarb seed pod, really interesting looking!  We're taking it off this year so that the plant can focus on growing it's leaves. 

I've seen our first hummingbird and put a feeder out there for it...I've tried to get a good picture, but this is the best I could get so far...




I'll be back at the cabin soon, but stay tuned for all the fun and shenanigans of mother/daughters/grandchild...it's going to be great fun!  Woo hoo, I'm excited...can you tell?  


Thanks for reading my blog, you are the best f/f/r/s/f's, see you tomorrow (from the river),
