Happy Easter!

Things are starting to green up and look like spring in the pond area.   We have a lot of cleanup to do around the pond and the yard.  The hubby and I was discussing about taking out some of the old pond and making it bigger.  The waterfall started leaking last year.  We decided that it was time do something different with it this year.  We have  lot of invasive plants that are taking up the whole area, so we are going to rip them out and hopefully keep them from spreading again. (black-eyed Susan's, irises, bunching onions, etc.)

I have all yellow irises, and we stopped at the sister-in-laws and she was so nice and gave us some purple ones!  She also gave us some garlic chives, I have just the regular ones.   I also bought some new flowers to plant around the outside of the pond area!

We went out yesterday (the hubby, son and I)  and did some skeet shooting with the 12 gauges!  I had never did skeet shooting and never shot a 12 gauge shotgun before either.   I started out not hitting any of the birds, but by the time I got onto my third set of shells, I was finally hitting the birds.  The hubby told me what I was doing wrong, then I got the hang of it and started hitting them!   I think that is one sport the we will be doing a lot more often!   The hubby told me to start buying ammo every week so that we can go out and do skeet shooting on the weekends.

Hope you all had a lovely Easter and weekend.
