After our recent rains, pond O'Shannon has a pair of ducks in it.

Mike is a Picture Ass

Why Mike? Why????



We have a pair of Orioles that have been hanging out at Irish Acres.

Coyotes game this past March down in Arizona.  Fun times!

Kiehra's 7th Grade Spring Band Concert

Kiehra's the little peanut with the flute (second row, third in).

 

And of course she's hidden behind a music stand from where I'm sitting.

 

 

Spring is Here

 

From my friend Stella's flower garden.  This confirms, spring is here (finally)!

Gull Lake Campground Spring Cleanup

This past weekend was spring cleanup at the Army Corps of Engineers Gull Lake Campground.  It was actually supposed to be last weekend but there was still too much snow.  As we work our way through the campground this weekend there was still some snow here and there.

 

It was 34 degrees and raining.  Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

My friend Stella came out and joined in the fun as well.

 

After the cleanup was done, the staff treated us to tacos and this nummy cake.



Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing at Irish Acres March 12th. 

Straight from the Hat Box

Yep, the clock actually works.

Kaleb's 2nd Grade Spring Program

Last night was Kaleb's 2nd Grade Spring program.  They entertained us with Disney songs.

 

 

Songs included Candle on the Water

 

Here's a photo of the hoodlums (Makita, Josh and Mike) during our ride this past Saturday.

 

Saturday Ride

Saturday it was 70 degrees here.  We had a really nice ride out west of town.  Still lots of snow around however.

Makita's Bike Arrived

Old Blue arrived from Arizona this week.  Let's ride!

Let's Talk Turkey

 

This past Sunday there were two pairs of turkeys running around out here in front of Irish Acres.  Two hens running from two toms.

Irish Acres has a visitor on April 22, 2013

Yes, that is snow on April 22nd.  A pair of cardinals stopped by for a visit and were as mystified as me with the weather conditions so late in the spring.

Lindsey Turns Seven

 

On Sunday granddaughter Lindsey turned seven.

Minneapolis RV and Camping Show

The weekend of February 9th we went to Minneapolis with Kurt and Robin Hopp to the RV and Camping show at the convention center.  We saw a lot of RV's.  There was one that we really liked!  Had to leave it behind due to it's price tag. 

I think that Kurt and Makita are throwing the shocker...with the stopper.  Good grief.  We partied late into the night and security stopped by to "shush" us.

WNF - Hockey in Bemidji

This past weekend the Wednesday Night Fellowship group headed to Bemidji for our annual winter hockey trip.  It was our first hockey trip to Bemidji (usually go to North Dakota).  We liked the shorter drive and we loved the after game party!

 

 

Hey, who brought the gnome?  Or is it a Sleestak?

 

 

 

 

Nick had a boogie in his butt....
