Look at this!

Yes, it's a pink lady slipper/moccasin.  There is one lone plant down by our swing set. A long time ago I saw one there but thought it had died.  I wish I knew how to get it to spread.  I wonder if it would like cow manure.....??

Spring Break in WV

Lyn has been wanting to go to WV trout fishing for quite some time.  We decided that we would go for 3 days/2 nights during spring break.  We found ourselves a little cabin to stay in.  The trip, unfortunately, wasn't very successful as far as fish is concerned.  I think the final count was Lyn 4, Devan 1, and the rest 0.  It was still a nice get away and one of the saving factors was our own outdoor hot tub and free wifi (which we could only get in certain parts of the cabin).  The weather was nice and it's such a pretty part of the country.

Renae & I got in some reading.  (She fished too.)

We were wondering who would have to dry out....

We stopped by Black Water Falls on the way home.

 One of the prettiest parts of the trip was the red bud & dogwood trees blooming.  Both of them grow in the wild but the red buds trees especially were all along the roadways.

March Birthdays

Quick....while we are still only 1 month past.... here are a few pics of the birthday celebrations.  Darryn & Ericka were home mid March so we celebrated with them a bit early.  Thanks to Aunt Erma for a scrumptious layer chocolate cake.

Darryn - 22 yrs. & Ericka - 20 yrs.

17 years

For the first time since he was born, Dwight got to celebrate his birthday without sharing it with Darryn.  He has a Dairy Queen ice cream cake.  Ymmm.
