I am thankful for signs of spring. I've been planting my veggie garden, which is a joy, but the amazing setting makes it even better. As I work the soil and then plant the seeds, I can hear the creek nearby and the birds singing. I am so grateful that the Runner moved my vole-proof raised beds and my rich soil here last fall!
As I work, I keep my camera nearby because I see wonderful wildlife while I'm out there. Shyla lies in the warm sunshine nearby, keeping an eye on me.
One project that we did this winter was putting out bluebird houses, hoping to entice some of them to nest in Lab Valley. You can imagine how delighted I was when I saw a Mountain Bluebird checking out one of the houses while I worked on the garden.
As I took photos of him, he flew to a nearby bush, looking for his mate. Maybe he wanted to show her the bird house? I hope so. We put up lots of them so we are hoping that the birds will like them!
Lab Valley makes us so happy. Not only are the birds and other wildlife amazing but our pups have such fun too.
Look at the happy and relaxed face on Hachi when he's been playing with his sister.
There is so much to be thankful for!

ReplyDeleteThat is the most relaxed expression I've ever seen in your photos of Hachi. Lab Valley is working its magic.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful that you pointed me to "The Cougar Conundrum". It's fascinating, and exploded a few mountain lion "facts" I thought I knew. :-)
