Waiting for the Bells to Arrive!

 March weather is always unpredictable and the perfect forecast for today changed a bit....

a little windy but Louis Dean went fishing anyway!

I put a cap on and walked around the big tank as he sat on the dock. 

The water is way down!

Winter is slowly leaving and spring is just about to wake up.

This time last year she was being downright frisky!

No green in the tops of the trees yet.

Can you see Louis Dean off in the distance?

I walked all the way around and over to the smaller tank behind the apiary.

You can see our big Red Roof Inn back there to the right!

Back up to the big tank and there's the island in the middle where Sherry and Crystal planted a tree for Dean.

This is the face of a want-to-be fisherman!

The ducks always come out to greet me whenever I go for a walk.

I'd forgotten about the new baby girl goat!

How fun is this???

I had gone down to Sherry's to borrow some butter and noticed the wind had changed.

By the time my dinner was in the crockpot cooking the sky was dark to the north and threatening rain. Dean called me and said severe weather was to be expected with wind, rain and hail. The Bells were en route here and they encountered all four seasons during their drive from Dallas.

Just before they got to Mart, the rain came down with a vengeance.

I looked out to the gate but couldn't see anything past the truck.

It didn't last much longer than 10 minutes or so.......

 

and then the light changed and calm returned!

Just in time! The Bells had arrived!

We were so happy to see them and they were happy to finally BEE here!

We had appetizers and visiting and then dinner together.

Sherry brought pasta and garlic bread down and ate with us.

Later in the evening, the kids and I played Blurt and had a great time while their parents set up  the two tents.

Spring Break!!!

We are already having so much fun!!!
