Al playing the Blues on May 28, 2011 at
"The Matrix Coffee House" in Chehalis, Washington.
Our friends, Dirk and Betsy were there with us and Betsy took this picture on her IPHONE.

    Our gigantic redwood tree stump before and after...
    Now it will be blooming all summer again!!

The gorgeous yellow finches come back each year at this time.  They really chow down on thistle Al hangs in these little bags from the trees in our yard.  They're all over the place and so much fun to watch.

                     Our Spring/Mother's Day house flag..

                                                     Flowers on our front porch..

Spring is just around the corner and we started planting flowers in our yard and on our porch....

Another great picture of our Little Village Ryderwood taken by our neighbors, Howard and Marilyn .
