We were up at the property this weekend. It was a wonderful trip!
The weather was sunny and 68-75 degrees - beautiful! When we got there, we were surprised to see all the apple (and other fruit trees?) in bloom. Lots of new ground cover and flowers were coming up too. Drawf dogwood, ferns, starflowers, violets, and stagham moss in the wooded areas. Hawkeye, raspberries, possibly a daisy of sorts (hadn't blossomed yet) in the sunny areas. Marsh marigolds, iris (not in bloom yet), unique mushrooms, and more violets in the bog area. Just amazing! We find beauty everywhere on the property. While we were sitting under one of the blossoming fruit trees, Tim spotted
something in one of the aspen trees near by. He came running back for the camera, and we took pictures throughout the evening. It's a porcupine! We watched him up in the tree top, sleeping, observing us, and eating. I am amazed by porcupines! I guess I never really seen one in the wild, and up in the tree it was a slow, docile creature. Of course, I would never want a close encounter with one, but I'm happy to have at least one who lives on our property! We named him Paulie the Porcupine :)

That is such an interesting critter to have on your land. Porcupines are quite docile critters...I'd be worried about your pups getting their muzzles in some barbs. ;)
I think it is so cool for you both to have a special place where only you and nature (and now Paulie) can enjoy God's gift.
If you both need any help clearing brush, building stuff, while I am unemployed, I'd be glad to help!
