The weather has been wonderful sunny and warm temps hitting highs of 22°C or 7oºF perfect . Over the Easter weekend Papa and I were busy in the yard and took Miggs for a spa day , had a nice family Easter dinner and just enjoyed the lovely weather .
Yesterday was just as nice , Miggs and I went for a long walk with our friends Debbie and her dog Tikka they just live up and around the corner from us which is on route of our walk so we join up , most of the time Miggs stops at their house and listens for Tikka and Tikka watches for Miggs and I lol they are best buds and Deb and I both enjoy walking and chatting up a storm so that works out well , we have a lot in common about nature and loving the simpler life !
Any who , yesterday I was out taking photos as spring is coming along beautifully !
This little guy was nesting in this barn house last year that Papa built and was looking for the barn house a week ago so Papa put it up over the weekend and the little guy moved in right away . He sits there and chirps as to tell all he has claimed it . It is made to be a Wrens house but he manages to squeeze in and out of it ok lol !
Then I noticed he had the wife there so she seemed pretty happy about their living quarters lol ! I take it he did a good job of house hunting as she was singing the praises !
One lonely Goose flew over !
My favourite place to be in the sunny warm weather , where I can sit and watch all in the back yard and eventually enjoy blooms and colour with in my gardens !
I scrubbed down the patio table and the place mats and as you see here hung them on the line to dry !
Sitting at my patio table with camera in hand Mr Robin came to visit , they get really close to us now !
He kept an eye on me and the ground for bugs or a worm moving under the grass !
Miggs was walking the yard keeping an eye on the critters !
But she didn't see Mr Bunny squeezing under my shed lol ! We have to live trap and relocate and seal up the holes under my shed for if we don't it gets pretty over crowded and stinky under there as there are also squirrels rooming under my shed as well , I wonder if I should charge them rent lol !
This Purple finch was happy he had the feeder all to himself as he was munching away !
Today it is still nice out but rainy and foggy in the valley but hey that's ok cause April showers bring May flowers !
Birds are chirping and singing as it is raining the temps are a warm 10°C or 50ºF and it is all supposed to clear up this afternoon and the sunshine is to appear , so this morning I will putter indoors whilst it is raining and get outside later if it clears up .
Until next time my friends

we are seeing a bunny in the back yard too. but don't know where he/she is living.
oh watch the growth, after rain and coming sun! it will explode! :-)
It looks grand in SW Ont. You are a few weeks ahead of us -- except we are ahead in winter. lol
ADORABLE barn house!!! he could sell those in a heartbeat! :)
miggs looks so pretty.
You've got lots going on around your yard this week. It's still cold and dreary here again today with rain for the next 2 days. We don't need rain as it will cause the rivers to rise again but there's nothing we can do about it. It doesn't affect us personally but will affect thousands when the rivers flood their banks. Have a nice day.
Spring is just grand!
I love the "barn" bird house. I had one similar to that but it rotted away from the sun after a few years.
That purple finch is gorgeous!
Yesterday I snapped shots of a pair of Canada geese up pretty close. I was surprised by how cooperative they were.
Aw, so sweet Miggs having doggie friends!
Enjoy that great weather you're having..
Everything looks so lovely, dry & Springy over your way, while it is wet & rainy with a Beaver playing havoc on our lives here.
Beautiful day to be out! Temps are slowly (very slowly) rising here, and teeny tiny leaves are starting up in the garden.
Have a lovely one!

Soggily sitting here in the new sunshine, yesterday was a downpour. And we heard that you had good weather, it's nice to know that it was beautiful somewhere in Canada.

Now I am so confused again as I am just learning celsius (after all these years) is 10C ~ 50 degrees F, I am back to the drawing board today ?
Love tha purple finch !!
Took me on a trip at your backyard.
