Monday we played a joke on a neighbor. Another neighbor, a dairy farmer actually started this prank, but he only has access to cow poop and needed horse turds. LOL He had sent us on a stealth mission to a mutual friend's house to spray paint Happy Birthday in his driveway (washable paint) along with 54 horse turds since he is 54. LOL It says "Happy Birthday Bernie, From Fred & Pat" The kids thought it was so funny to do this. They were giggling hysterically. I am now awaiting the retaliation which is sure to happen because the birthday boy is also a very big prankster. Most likely, it'll happen when Pat isn't home.  Fred is a very big prankster. When Pat first met him(as a teen) he was wearing a shirt that said, "instant swimmer-just add water." Well, he walked over to Pat (they hadn't even been introduced yet) and poured a glass of water on him, then said, "ok, let me see ya swim."
After that, we 4-wheeled to a place near us that has beavers there now. So, we were finally able to see an occupied beaver pond. We've been hunting for one and had been to 6 ponds, but they all were old beaver ponds. This one is just a couple miles away.
 Then Patdrove us out into a field to show me a pine tree lot at the top where I can get pine needles to use for mulch around my blueberry bushes.
After he showed me, he said to keep Susanna right next to me or Hannah because it's prime coyote territory. I said, I think we won't be going without you then(he agreed that was probably a good idea). Apparently there's a coyote den on the other side of that lot and also the farm compost pile-where they put dead animals.
I immediately got the heebie jeebies, of course.Here's a picture I took from the top of that field. It looked so beautiful and peaceful. This is near our place:
 On the way back to the house, I found these beautiful flowers next to the driveway. I didn't plant them. I think they are foxgloves, but I'm not sure.
 Here's a pic of the kids in the wagon:
 I love it that they have fun together. That hole in the background is the partially dug pond. Pat was checking on the drain pipe. He is itching to finish it. It's going to end up being big enough for the kids to kayak in and Pat is going to stock it with trout, since it'll be cold and deep enough.
