April showers

Ahhh, this is the view from here. Need I say more? A dry trail on a warm day with a good friend and a healthy horse...spring peepers and NO biting bugs! This is the good part of April for sure!
And this is the "other" part of April. Look at the yard work we have to do! The ice storm in December has left plenty of "slash" thoughout the woods. Our youngest will have plenty to do with his ATV in pulling all of this to the burn piles. We don't have tons of woods, mostly fields, but there is plenty of work out there to keep us busy for some time. I see lots of campfires this summer.






This is the stone bridge and it has quite a flowing stream after the rain early this week. This year is no where near the flooding of the last 2 springs though. We had water up to the top of that bridge and it was shooting out this side. It was truly frightening. This year it is rushing, but not at all scary. I just love this bridge!
I hope your April is going well too.

Great picture from horseback!So glad you got to enjoy the spring weather out on the trail today. I can see that grin behind the camera lens.... :-)
It looks like the boys will be busy for quite awhile this summer. Cozy camp fires with toasted marshmellows will be a nice reward for their labor.
I love that bridge too!!!
Happy Easter to all.
Love,
