Weekend in pictures

Friday:

Rain/snow last weekend made for perfectly tacky hero-dirt trails this weekend.  Saw a total of one other person on this ride.  Sweet.

Saturday.  Z did some ball kicking.  No pics though.  This is from the Eightfeet archives.

M debuted her first original composition here:

Sunday:

Got lucky and saw the Rocks actually win.  

Got double lucky as the rain held off until the end:
I think we packed in enough fun to get us through the week.

Spring Happenings

Stopped by the owl nest this morning and saw Momma owl leaving to hunt:


Figured that must mean the owlets would be seen soon, so I stopped by on the way home, too. Sure 'nuff there were a couple of fuzzy heads in there:

Z and I race the Pinewood Derby on Saturday.

in a coffee cup..."


Or in this case, a muddy bike water bottle, I guess. Hmmm. Not sure exactly where I'm going with this. But the sun did come up and I've always liked that song.

Checking on the folks over in Masonville:

Who's watching Whom

I've been visiting these guys as often as I can to watch for the little fuzzy ones. No babies to see, yet. Those big yellow eyes always see me before I see them.

Momma hasn't left the nest for a few weeks now:

Dad is usually keeping a close watch nearby as well:

Cute Warning

If you're adverse to cuteness you might just want to skip right over this post and be on your merry internet-surfing way. :)

Baby Borrowing

We got to borrow this cute baby for a while yesterday and I made this picture:
