The North Fork

Ryan took the dogs for their first jaunt down to the North Fork. They had a blast.. and almost got skunked. Seaman Reservoir is still covered in snow... but not for long.

Jolly & Cherie

Jolly and Cherie came out to the ranch to spend the night and we went for a morning walk with the dogs.

My Garden

So.. last year (thanks to the rabbits) my garden was pretty much inexistant. Everything I planted was quickly devoured. So I am planning ahead this year. After much research, I purchased flower seeds that are "rabbit resistant" such as delphinium, liatris, oriental poppies, columbines... and the list goes on. I am also planting heirloom tomatoes, peppers, & herbs. Josh & Nicole gave me a grow light and "mini greenhouse" for Christmas... so as you can imagine I have already started my garden. My little seddlings are growing steadily.

Sunday Afternoon Hike

Yesterday after church we set out for the Poudre Canyon for an afternoon hike. The sky was the most amazing blue and the weather was great. We came across several mountain lion dens including the one below... but no mountain lions, thankfully!

Rabbits Beware

Gunner flaunts another victory!!

Fly Tying at its Finest

Ryan's started tying some pretty amazing flies. He's gearing up for spring!The fly above imitates a wounded baby rainbow trout. Ideal for catching monster trout!

Jenna & Sophie

Today my cousin Corrie and her husband Sean came up to the Ranch to visit and I took some photos of the girls while they were here. Jenna & Sophie are such beautiful girls... and so uniquely different! Here are some of my favorites.

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Ryan is 27! We all went out to celebrate at Fish, a great fresh seafood restaurant. It was amazing!
