Okay, my apologies. So much for posting more regularly. Something has come up every weekend since my last post that, in some sense, kept me from sitting down and uploading my photos. So . . . sorry, and I have 36 pictures to share. The sun on April 8th: Rising sun shining on the field on the morning of April 9th, and pussy willows shining in the sun on the same morning: April 10th: Neat-looking clouds; robin sitting in the pussy willows Still April 10th: The pussy willows down our tree line looked almost like snow; male downy woodpecker in the tree April 10th continued: Drying-out field, soil almost ready to be worked; and finally the sunset. April 11th: Sunrise, and there's a robin sitting at the top of the mountain ash tree. He was singing for me :) And later, the sun shining through the spruce trees. I liked how these clouds looked on April 16th: Snow on April 17th, and that robin looked like he wasn't quite sure what to do about it. Also, the snow had drifted across the deck and onto the top step of the stairs, which made it look like there was WAY more snow than there actually was. And then the snow was already melting later that day. April 18th. Our shipment of potato seed arrived! (My sister took the pictures of this delivery as well) Another neat sky on April 22nd: Sunset on April 24th: A heron flew over on April 25th and landed in our neighbours' pond. I went over there to try to get a picture of the heron . . . and while I didn't get a good shot of it, I did find out that the buds on the tree branches looked really neat up close! And then the sunset from that evening. April 29th sunset: Another (very wet) snowfall on April 30th: And there was still snow on the trees on May 1st. Sun in the clouds on May 2nd: And then out into the field to cultivate on May 4th! I was riding in one tractor with my dad, and my brother was driving the other tractor. They cultivated one side of the field, and then Dad and I disked the other side. I love how the dirt looks when there are alternating strips of worked and unworked dirt like that. Sunset on May 5th: And finally, a very rainy day. It rained a bit yesterday, but it's been coming down pretty much all morning now, and we've got puddles all over the place. (And there's a blue jay hanging out in the front yard, right underneath where the bird feeders were all winter, so he's probably found some grain.)

Your comment about the robin not knowing what to do in the snow was hilarious!
