We are seeing more green around our country bungalow and the first pop of color are the Daffodils and the sweet Johnny Jump Ups.
I brought a bouquet in for the table and will be bringing in a second bouquet today for our weekend festivities.
On this past Tuesday we had our 2024 inaugural walk on the Rotary Trail. Speaking of inaugural, I mowed our acreage on Tuesday, also. This was an early start to mowing.
From a distance we thought this was a real heron but when I zoomed in it looks more like a statue.
There were lots of real birds chirping and singing as we walked.
This eagle was soaring.
This trail loop walk takes us just under an hour to complete.
Our glass fishing float was reflecting the clouds this past week and I zoomed in for a photo.
“This glass fishing float is one of the historical, handblown floats used for nautical buoyancy and fishing gear.”
We also have a basket full of smaller floats. This next photo of the floats was taken in the summer with our pest ‘Alvin’.
We have two car loads arriving at our Country Bungalow for the weekend and another Colville carload here for the late afternoon and evening. Today is Andrew’s birthday and we will celebrate him. Tomorrow we will celebrate JJ’s 5th birthday with a bowling party. His actual birthday is in the middle of this coming week. Tomorrow evening and Sunday afternoon Addy has a dance recital with her Irish dancing group. Fun times are afoot! I will be scarce here but busy in the kitchen and elsewhere.
Here’s todays birthday boy!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Everything surely looks Springy over there! Is that a patch of Rhubarb I see?
Have a most wonderful weekend with all the excitement and hosting. The bowling party sounds like so much fun.
Hugs …
Good eye, Rosella, yes that is our prolific rhubarb plant! Happy weekend to you.
You live in such a pretty area Ellen. Lovely to see your daffodils and other flowers at the bungalow, and all the cute yard art. Happy Birthday Andrew and JJ! Looks like you are going to have fun and I wish Addy a wonderful dance recital. A very happy weekend to you all.
Beautiful flowers, I love the daffodils.
It is nice to be outside, enjoying the flowers and the birds. Happy birthday to Andrew and JJ.
Take care, have a great day and happy weekend!
Ellen, those floats are beautiful! I love it that you captured the clouds in the picture from last summer. And little Alvin…he may be a pest, but he sure is cute.
I know you will have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy both of the birthday celebrations and how is it possible that JJ is 5 already? I hope you will take pictures of Addy with her Irish dance recital and share a few with us. I love that sort of thing!
Have a lovely time with family over the weekend…and then rest up the first part of next week! xx
In that first photo, your two bunches of daffs hardly look real! What a pretty variety. Love seeing those stunning blue skies, too.
…I have a heron sculpture like that!
Birthday wishes – and let the parties begin! And love the basket of floats!
Another full weekend for your family. Happy Birthday to Andrew and JJ. Wow 5 already!!
Daffodils are a sure sign of spring. Lots of them blooming around here.
Spring blooms and birds are always so welcome. Have a wonderful weekend with your family.
Happy Birthday to Andrew and JJ! Beautiful flowers! Hugs and blessings.
Happy Birthday weekend to Andrew and JJ!
I love spring when all the colors return! Especially the daffodils! Willow
