Moved the Peonies ~

Needless to say, my Peonies did not do well. 
So DH dug them up and DS helped me put them in pots. They are close to the house now and will be easier for me to care for them.

Hopefully the Peonies will flower this summer.
Added some bulbs and will add more cascading plants to soften the over all effect.

Hopefully next spring I will move them into Whiskey Barrels. The plastic pots will do for now.

 DH loves bright flowers.  

Plan on looking for a bit of Log to use as a stand 

instead of the bucket.

Pear tree is going all out this year. 

Hopefully we will be able to pick some pears before the crows eat them all this summer.

Snow in March ~~

 Wet sticky snow in March.
Gold finches are just starting to turn color.

POP goes the......   bird.  LOL

Stopped on the road to take a couple of pictures, on the way home from yet another Doctors appointment.

Have no issues at all driving in this kind of weather. 

Nice plus is there were very few people on the road to deal with.

Was very beautiful out and I had the biggest smile on my face.

Pond in-between the tree branches.

Air Museum ~

Went to the Udvar-Hazy Air Museum last Feb.

Above and below are photos of the 

Boeing S-307 Stratoliner Clipper Flying Cloud.

Very elegant aircraft.

Can see other planes in the mirror finish.

Prospective on how big the space shuttle Discovery is. There is a number of feet between

 DH's hand and the underside.

And what I went to the Air Museum for.  

She is in tatters at this point.

The flying pick up truck- Sikorsky JRS-1

The JRS-1 is one of only three airplanes still in existence that was at Pearl Harbor during the attack.

 Plane coming into Land.

 Seeing the Discovery never gets old.

New Archery Target ~

DH finally built my new Archery target and I love it.  

And so everyone knows I have a small farm, 

bailing twine was used to hang it up. LOL

Going to keep shooting no matter what !

Flowers and new plants~

 Beautiful Birthday Flowers DH gave me.

Went to Lowes yesterday and they had 

some plants for $1.00.  

I could not help myself. LOL
Ended up with a Mini Orchid, will have to learn how to care for it.

Couple of the new house plants.

Running out of room on the table where I keep my

 Air cleaning plants.

Terracotta Army, One more time ~~

Had to have the kneeling Archer behind me. ;O)

Went to see the stunning Terracotta Army one last time.

Took the better camera but the lightening made it 

difficult to get really good photos. 

Would been beyond impressive when they were first created and to see all the bright colors they would of been painted with....

Click on each photo if you want to see a larger version.

Loved the details.

 The saddle on the horse was really well done, even after 3,000 years in the ground.

Terracotta Army: Legacy of the First Emperor of China ~

Finally went to see this exhibit.
Was incredible.

Legacy of the First Emperor of China. 

More than 40 objects in the exhibition have never before been on view in the United States.

 My DH thinks the one above looks smug,  maybe, most likely because he has a horse and the others do not..  ;O) 

 This horse was about the size of Dyfra, an Iceland mare.

 Each piece was incredibly done and to think each of those faces was a person 3,000+ years ago.

 I only had my cell phone and the first time I used its camera.
So the photos are not the best.

 This piece was the only replica and the horses are about the size of my miniature mare, Maggie.

 They fashioned deer around the Sea shells.
