Nilsson News

We enjoyed some of the same excitements as the Hart clan.  Asparagus harvesting, observing the bee swarm, basking in the sunshine and getting the rest of the garden planted.  Best news of the week is our donkey Dee Dee had her foal on Memorial Day!  He is super tiny (19 inches) and almost black.  He is a little shy so we are working on that.  We finally decided on a name for him today.  He is the first son of his dad Inigo, so we decided on Montoya or just Monte for short.  We are still waiting for Penny to foal who is now three weeks past her due date (sigh).


We have been loving the sunshine and warmer weather but as I looked to the south this afternoon, I saw some pretty threatening clouds and would you take a close look at this picture:
Yes, you are seeing it correctly.  That is a tornado!  Garrett was at a neighbor's with the kids and as soon as he got home we asked if he'd seen the tornado and he said there was a tornado watch alert on his phone.  Crazy!
Here are some pics of the bee swarm.  The dark clump are thousands of bees.

 Henry was having way too much fun with the smoke can.
Ready for a new home at the Harts!
Hope you all have a wonderful, sunshiney week!
