It's official it's winter, December 20th, 2008 we have 14+ inches of fresh fluffy white snow today. After the shoveling, roof raking and snow blowing, and car cleanup was done James and Jason decided to try to play king of the hill on the pile the snow plow left at the end of the driveway. We have another winter storm coming tomorrow with the potential for another foot of snow.
pods are giving up their seed. The wind has been quite brutal the last few days.
Fall is nearly off the maple trees in the yard now, second hard frost this week. 
lants in the yard.
, we've got 1/2 the room wallpapered, the rest should go fast this week. In the second pic you can see the teapot shelf up near the ceiling. 
we'd catch a glimpse of him every now and then. One day he finally decided we were OK and joined Rose out in the yard. He's very friendly, and talks a lot. He stays out in the barn with Lacey and Willow for now. We're getting him neutered and wormed this week.
SUMMER GOLDAmerica is addicted to foreign oil.
It's an addiction that threatens our economy, our environment and our national security. It touches every part of our daily lives and ties our hands as a nation and a people.
The addiction has worsened for decades and now it's reached a point of crisis.
In 1970, we imported 24% of our oil.
Today it's nearly 70% and growing.
As imports grow and world prices rise, the amount of money we send to foreign nations every year is soaring. At current oil prices, we will send $700 billion dollars out of the country this year alone — that's four times the annual cost of the Iraq war.

Projected over the next 10 years the cost will be $10 trillion — it will be the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of mankind.
America uses a lot of oil. Every day 85 million barrels of oil are produced around the world. And 21 million of those are used here in the United States.
That's 25% of the world's oil demand. Used by just 4% of the world's population.
Our heating oil provider just sent our Oil pricing for the year Heating Oil is now $4.84 per gallon. That's going to cramp the old budget this winter, $4.84 per gallon for heating oil in NH. Last winter we paid $2.89 and thought that was bad.  clipped from dsanborn.wordpress.com

The deer are back with a new batch of fawns here in my backyard in NH, no, sorry, no fawn pictures yet, I need to mow the field before we see the fawns up close.

We have a couple nightly visitors now, mid-dinner most evenings now (The mosquito's must be horrid in the woods) two does and a fawn stroll out for a nibble in the field, stay for an hour or so then saunter back into the brush.
Fixing the yard hill: Tuesday we're got 8 yards of 3/4" crushed stone, and 18 yards of loam delivered to fix a lot of sloped are...
