Family Pictures


Elijah saw every vehicle


Mom's hair is in his face



Kisses


that was kind of fun


Let's do a tower


One with dad


One with mom


and one with oma, that is enough, bye bye!

Spring is in the Air


taking pictures of the budding tree



the magnolia is starting to bloom


going for a walk


south Stout, the 2 empty lots were used as a football field
but now one is being developed, so the field will be cut in half

Fire Call in Stout


Stephen went on a fire call
he is the passenger in this trck


this kind of call happens in the spring


somebody had a leaking anhydrous tank
like the one I saw here on Saturday
the gas is very poisonous, if you have a leaking tank
you are supposed to leave the tractor and run away 
then I guess you call the fire fighters to close the tank for you

Saturday Morning in Iowa


The Magnolia may bloom while I am here,
it looks promising 


Trying out the new toy


Elijah and I walked over to the field,
we talked to the guy applying fertilizer

Iowa




Drove to Iowa, had snow, black ice and wind
but it went well


at least the last few hours the weather cooperated


a Ford truck for Elijah, chosen because it makes very few sounds


very yummy pizza
with a smile

Robin


a few days back I took some pictures


from the kitchen window


Now there is snow again,
maybe the birds came back a tat early

Dundas Valley Conservation Area


Yesterday we had a lot of rain
we debated going hiking but we went


and that was a good decision, it was a great day for hiking


saw this huge tree. the girls touched with the tips of their fingers


a bit muddy


lunch on a bench at the golf course


a well placed fence


raging water, down from Webster's Falls


a Magnolia tree showing a little touch of colour
