Springtime at the Ranch

We're back. Still alive and with weeks of all sorts of adventures under our belts.

Freezing in Chicago!

I'm trying to set up a blog site for our RV adventure but you can read about what I did right after the RV trip, here. 

Spring is here!

Great year for roses.

Now, it is back to Ranch Life. And thanks to recent rains, the hills are green again! Our creek is still dry on one side, but the trees seem to be doing alright, with peach, nectarine, plum and apple blossoms in varying degrees of bloom. No mushrooms, however, and I am suspecting we may not see any this season.

Tomato seeds I planted before we left on the Crazy Adventure have sprouted and I am getting ready to set up my summer garden while Big Dog counts the days until he can do the Big Burn of last year's clippings.
