Today is my betiful gitlls birthday. Happy birthday my love !

 

We took one of our favorite hikes.. We walked the Duck book trail backwards.. well we didn’t walk backwards, but we did it the opposite way we usually do.. We parked a car up on notch road and then hiked from our house. It’s definitely a harder hike goign that way. Really beautiful today.. with not much snow left. 

 

 

We sat for a good long while at our favorite beaver pond on the hike. We were really quiet and got to hear owls hoot, and woodpeckers, knocking and some other big animals moving outside of our sight

.

When we got home, there was a gift for Diane from Gabe. We had found these beautiful colored rocks on a beach on the terrane sea in Italy last September. They were particularly colorful, but like all colored rocks, they were less bright once they had dried off from the ocean. We had left them with Gabe to give them a try in his rock Tumblr. He polished them and sent them back to Diane for her birthday. They are really beautiful.
Thank you so much Gabe !

 

We spent the rest of the day working in the garden including assembling Dianes new cold frames.. they are from austria and amazingly well made. They have a simple pneumatic device that opens and closes the top based on temperature !

 

then we worked in the garden clearign off last years mess
