"> Wow! Has it ever been a busy spring! But summer is here now and my favorite Idaho season has begun. The bee's are literally "busy bees" making beautiful new honey combs. The garden is blessing me with fresh lettuce and mesculan for salads, I'm drying parsley already, and baby zuchs on their way, the tomatoes are coming on strong and the cukes and beans are heading up their trellises, it's so fun to watch! I've made two batches of Pesto from my basil. It's so fun to go out and pick your dinner.

This spring I put in a sprinkler system for the garden and built a new firepit area.(They will be in the slide show.) Also, I added more lasagna garden beds and 10 fruit trees...all kinds of new additions to Walk in Love Ranch this year! Thank you Lord!

 By far, however, the most wonderful little addition to my life is my newest Grandaughter, Natalie Rose! She and Jessica ran into a bit of trouble with the birth, but all is going well at this point and we are all praising the Lord for the way He took care of the two of them. I thoroughly enjoyed keeping Cohen and Eli while Jess and Jer were taking care to watch over little Natalie.

  On the wild side you'll see some pictures of a couple of moose that showed up this spring in my back yard.  and a porcupine I shot about a month ago that was heading down the hill right towards my front porch! My dog was most grateful. It was very interesting examining the way it's quills were sized and designed, she was a very beautiful little creature. Too bad that they are rather a nuisance and can do quite a bit of damage to my timber. My friend went out of his house for a walk a few days ago and saw a Mama Moose with a brand new little baby right in his field! 

I took a break from facebook for a while, but when I went to email some gals I missed keeping touch with, I found that all my email contact list had been wiped out by a virus or something; so I have no ones address anymore! Back to face book!
Walk in Love, Leslie
