Saturday Adventures

 Finally spring is with us! Ryan visited this weekend, and we had some fun adventures. We began Saturday with working on the raised beds, getting them ready to plant when the danger of frost is over. At this point there are some lettuce plants and onion sets in the ground. Here you can see Ryan helping to get the beds ready.
It will be another couple of weeks before we can be sure that frost won't kill the garden.

 Gary and Ryan worked away in the yard, occasionally taking breaks in what Ryan has named the Hang Out in the back yard.

Here you can see the hang out.

The bleeding heart and tulips are in blossom now, as are a few stray dandelions!

The red tulips are starting to go by. They did not blossom as profusely this year as they once did.

For the afternoon we went to Portage lake and enjoyed the warm weather there. Along Route 11 we found a black bear beside the road. Here it posed for the camera.

We found the Trillium in blossom at the camp. Unfortunately the black flies were there also. It is a bit early in the season for them, so that is not a good sign for the days ahead.

It was a busy day. We close with a picture of Ryan and Grampy taking a break.
