It's garden time!

The snow is almost all gone (75 degree weather will tend to do that) so I set to work this afternoon on creating a garden from a pile of gravel.

( The progress so far. )

Also, last weekend we took a hike up in the hills behind the house ... it's really astonishing how much more snow there was just a few days ago! We found lots of weird post-apocalyptic junk -- remains of cars, an old aquarium, and, strangest of all, a coffin. Izzy completed the fun by jumping on top of the coffin and falling through its rotten wooden top. Go, Izzy. Luckily there was no one inside.

( Pictures of that, too. )
