Click on the Tree to Visit :o)
All finished and I love it! I'm so impressed with this design! I will post all the details of this kal later...I've gotto be outa here in minutes for a field trip with the school! Thanks to all for knitting along with us! Hope you enjoyed it! 
Almost done! Couple more days to go. I'm sure everyone has figured out what it is by now ;o) I love it!
Spent some time outdoors yesterday as our weather was absolutely beautiful! The smell of sweet flowers and the sound of buzzing and chirping filled the air!
.
Fluffy dandelions...
..
Some soft strawberry flowers...
Feathery leaves...
.
Not sure what this stuff is...it's growing on top of moss...I thought they all looked like tiny little chilli peppers or sausages...very strange...click to see what I mean...
.
Wild Bluebells...
Busy little bumble bee...
.
Dragonfly getting some sun...
If you click on the photo of him you can see all the interesting detail on him...
Squirrel up in the tree...
And last but not least...hubby took this picture the night before of our not-so-little visitor with the striped tail...
Looks a little more interesting today as we started on the cables ;o)
Day 2 of our June KAL! I love the way the colour showed up today in the light...this Shrimp is such a pretty peachy colour :o)
Our June 2009 KAL started today! Here are my first 5 rows done for the day. I chose to use the colour Shrimp for this one :o)
It's All About the Colour....
You definitely know it's Spring time when you see these familiar "flowers". Yesterday was so beautiful outside that I decided to go out for a little nature photo shoot ;o) I know Dandelions are an awful weed that people spend all their time trying to get rid of, but have you ever looked at one real close to see how pretty it actually is?
Go ahead and click on it...I've left all the photos large so you can see all the wonderuful detail in them! Isn't it pretty...doesn't it look so soft...and what about all those little "twirlies"?...aren't they neat?
It was so nice to go outside and see COLOUR! Everywhere I looked I saw little bits of yellow, purple, white, and pink popping up...such a nice change from all the boring browns.
.
I noticed all the new leaves starting on all our trees...doesn't this look just like a baby bird's mouth opening up for food?
Look at the texture of that leaf...
I love the reds and greens...look at them all wrinkled up just waiting to stretch out.
.
Such beautiful colours and texture...
A while back we had to cut one of our trees in the back yard because it was dying...while walking around outside yesterday I seen this new tree shooting up out of the ground right beside the big stump of the old tree we had cut down...I can't tell yet, but I'm assuming that this new tree is a baby from the old one...I sure would hope so because it was such a beautiful tree and I miss it. I kinda thought the new leaf coming out from the top looked just like a pumpkin seed!
This is one of my very favourite photos of me with my Mom and Gramma! We look totally ridiculous but whenever I look at this photo it makes me smile cuz it was such a fun memory...my poor Grandfather was trying to take a nice picture of us three and as usual we got the giggles and couldn't stop! We didn't get one good photo with all of us looking at the camera without a goofy look on our faces...we tried really hard but the harder we tried the funnier it got! Poor Gramps couldn't take it anymore and finally gave up on us!Happy Mother's Day to you guys!
Lots of Love and Hugs,
Rachel Marie

These are little leaf blossoms that are just waiting to explode out of there little pockets...they're so neat to look at...they almost look like a flower or a berry or something but it's actually a whole pile of leaves smooshed together waiting to unfold and uncurl...nature is pretty neat...
Here's a Northern Flicker making some noise at the top of one of our dying trees...
If you click on the photos you can see this pretty woodpecker...they make a really nice sound too when they talk to eachother...
In this one you can see the beautiful deep red stripe behind it's head as he's looking over his shoulder...
And here we have a nice plump red Robin!
I spy with my little eye...something that is Green...
This poor little fella was having a real bad day...when I was raking up all the piles of leaves the other day, I noticed something fly out from under my rake as I made a swipe along the ground...when I took a closer look this is what I found...A frog! And such a wierd colour he was! I felt sooooo bad for flinging him by accident with the rake...I didn't know if I had killed him or what cuz he wasn't moving...his eyes were open but he didn't look good. My first instinct was to brush him off cuz he looked like a right mess but I just couldn't do it...I chickened out...he still gives me the shivers just looking at him...I mean, look at those fingers and toes! Ewwwww! Go ahead and click on the photos to see him real close up...gives me the heebie jeebies!
Anyway, I decided to just leave him there for a bit...I didn't want to scare him any more than he probably was. A little while later I had noticed that he was facing the other way so I figured he somehow moved all by himself...but he still just sat there for a while...I'm not sure if he was playing dead...perhaps that's their defense mechanism?
Now he's pretending that he's sleeping? Well after watching him for about 20 minutes I was getting bored...it was like waiting for water boil or paint to dry! So I went in the house to grab a drink and when I went back out to check on him...he was gone...and I mean gone! He must have motored out of the area all together cuz I looked all over the place thinking that he couldn't take off that quick...but he did...I imagine he probably ran home to tell his family about his awfully tramatic day with the big old mean lady with the green rake!
