It's been a busy time around here as usual. We're having loads of fun. The garden is mostly in but I have not taken photos yet. Each child's school year is almost done and my mind is already wrapped around summer.
The little guy and my mom and I made it to York Beach one day. He spent a long time in the water! Too cold for me, but not too cold for him I guess. He's the one in the black shirt. He made a fast friend at the ocean and rode the waves for a long time.
We have a "long story" about a couple of cochins, house-sitters, vacations and it all ends with a couple of hatched chicks. Here they are on their first outing. They are now fully integrated with the flock and doing well. The moms were enjoying a dust bath after sitting so long. 
I've been trail riding every chance I can get! It's been a wonderful spring for riding as we didn't get floods. Here I paused on an overlook with friends who were willing to take a quick photo. On a good day we can see Mt. Washington from that spot. This is a hill that's just an hour's ride from my dooryard. Very pretty.
We enjoyed a visit with John's sibling, Judy and husband Nate one evening. Their cute little dog was timid of our slippery floors so our oldest boy made a "Biscuit Bridge". We really enjoyed the visit as they were passing through the state!
Oh, and I do still knit. This spring I've made some hats, socks, a sweater, several lace things, fingerless gloves, a gift bag....hmmm. I think that's it but I'm not sure. Anyhow here are a couple of little triangular lace shawls that I managed to remember to take a photo of! I hope your spring is going as well as ours.
