but it&#8217;s getting so much closer to completion.\u00a0 The neatest thing is we have our kitchen back now and floors that can be cleaned.\u00a0 It&#8217;s the little things in life!<\/p>\n<p>It was snowing today, this morning, mixed with rain.\u00a0 The sun hasn&#8217;t come out once but the clouds got thin enough that the sun was still able to fully charge the batteries from solar panels.\u00a0 The aspens are starting to get leaves, and the other bushes like Serviceberry, Choke Cherry, Snowberry, Wild Roses, to name a few, are also leafing out.\u00a0 The hills have a green color now instead of white.\u00a0 The hilltops do have fresh snow on them, from what we can see if the clouds lift momentarily.<\/p>\n<p>We put out a second hummingbird feeder, and both feeders are extremely popular.<\/p>\n<p>Our pair of Western Bluebirds is building a nest in the birdhouse off the front deck, and having to defend it vigorously.\u00a0 A couple of days ago a House Wren attempted to make a grab for the nestbox, and it did have possession for a bit.\u00a0 The wren was inside the nestbox, preventing the bluebird from entering.\u00a0 It was tense for a moment, but the wren did leave and the bluebirds regained ownership.\u00a0 That same day a flock of swallows was visiting, and giving the bluebirds more to complain about.\u00a0 We&#8217;re hoping the bluebirds retain possession and raise another couple of broods of babies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We bought a new refrigerator and it was delivered today.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a very energy efficient
