We've been very fortunate with our weather of late. Josh and I have been spending as much time as we can on the motorcycle. Among our travels around and about, we also found a lovely little Philippine restaurant - I've fallen in love with Banana Ketchup (the kind without any tomatoes, obviously).

Unfortunately, only a few of our new plants were able to be planted. The Madronas are in place on either side of the driveway. I suppose I should be worried about the hanging electrical lines above, but frankly by the time they are a problem we'll be old and gray. The Huckleberries need to be planted along the fences, hopefully in a few years they will provide privacy and a healthy crop for ourselves and our poultry. The Oregon Myrtle has been planted, as well as the big Fern and the Western Hemlocks, too.

Now if I could just decide where to plant the Lavender.

Last night while washing dishes, I looked up and saw a huge cottontail sitting in the front border. Likely a buck, he was fluffed up a bit against the evening chill and as still as a stone. When pointing him out to Josh, it took him quite awhile to find him he was so well camouflaged by his size and color.

I've been counting robins and listening to the frog song for a few weeks now, waiting for that last sign that winter has released her bonds. For us, where we live, it's the dozens of cottontails that make our neighborhood home. Until I see that population jump, it's just not quite Spring yet. One absurdly large buck does not a season make, yet I am heartened.

And how wonderfully appropriate, given Ostara is this weekend.
