What a visitor!!!!!!

It has been so nice here in the woods..I took my niece for a ride in the Rhino and it was just beautiful everywhere.The wildflowers were blooming everywhere we looked.It's just a wonderful feeling to be out in nature... These are a couple of my roses that are blooming right now..

This one smells so unbelievably good..I stick my nose in one of these almost daily and just take in a big breath...I do check for bugs before I breath in though...

This is the first time that I have had a bear in my yard,,,yes I said my yard...I stepped out on the back porch and there he was just pretty as you please...I stopped in my tracks and when I got over the shock of him being there I went and got the ole trusty camera and got a few shots..

I usually fall asleep on my swing on the porch and sleep for a while,but I think I will be careful about doing that again...

He just went on about his business...

And the very next day we had three of these bull elk in the driveway headed for the yard,so I ran them off,they are very beautiful but they destroy our fruit trees and everything else they get a hold of...and our fruit trees have lots of fruit this year and we are the ones that want to eat it this time...they got it all last year so it is our turn...

They have velvet horns right now and the horns aren't through growing yet..they really get huge by the time they fall off in march of next year...

I have been very busy this spring,we have been doing so many projects,landscaping,planting a lot of flowers and shrubs,redoing some of the house,and planning my oldest sons wedding..and then my youngest son called me and said mom I wanna get married before I deploy to Afghanistan in July..so now we are planning another wedding this one within a month...But we will get it done..I hope...no really it will all work out...until next time...hope all has a wonderful long weekend...
