Spring is here! The flowers are beginning to bloom and they are wonderful this year. We will see how the rest of the buds do when they grow in the next few weeks. I think the little crocus are really cute!

All of the houses around our home began to get their older damaged trees removed. We have talked about having some of the pines in the front taken down because they continue to loose limbs and were overgrown when we moved into the house. So, they began!! What an amazing experience to see these men do their jobs.
Sad to see the big trees go, but we will replace them with new growth for the future. Look at some of the cool pictures below.
Here is the BEFORE picture.
There are two pictures of the crazy climber guy in the trees... he was pretty amazing.

I took my baby boy into the woods after 18 months. Yes, 18 months!! He got a tick bite last spring and then quickly became lame followed by the ACL rupture. Then came the surgery and long road of recovery. The woods WAS a place of happiness, joy and togetherness. It became a place of fear and regret. But, I took him back during the winter when the ticks are low and he became his old self. He ran to the river and swam in the strong current, enjoying each moment. Out he splashed in time to get me wet, then back to the water for another swim. Up and down the hills he ran, returning to the place we both love so much. You can see from the pictures that he is happy and alive in the woods.
He was very sore when we got home, after months of winter laziness. I think he over did the swim, walk, run event -- but he sure was a happy boy in the process. I hope that we can keep him out there, without any tick fears, tick issues and tick BITES.
