Night Deer



Found out who's been eating all the grain & deer blocks...

Finally found a good deal on a Deer cam, filled it with batteries, tied it to a post out at the edge of the field and we got 100 pics the first night, still playing with the settings, there's video too.  Remember this is infrared that's why there isn't color and also see the date/time stamp, it's dark out, so far I'm pretty impressed. No wonder the deer blocks are disappearing...

Happy St. Paddy's day!


Is it spring yet?

Jarrod, Crystal and the boys came down today for a St. Patrick's day corned beef & cabbage dinner, Rose did a great job with the meal!

Jarrod and I got to spend some time in the workshop today helping James and Jason with their birdhouse project for Boy Scouts.

James and Jason learned to use a tape measure, a speed square, drill press with help... a hammer and nails. Jason really took to using a hammer. It was cold in the shop but we managed to get through it. Jarrod is bringing the birdhouses home to paint.  I'll post a pic when they're done. 

Oh and it's that time again, The Pinewood Derby... The boys made these cars. Jason the Green and James the red one.  Nice job guys.



Stay Warm

Happy Birthday James and Jason!


James and Jason had another Birthday Today!  Eight Years old Yes "8"

Had a party at Jarrod's house.

Boys got Snowshoes, took them for a romp around the yard, not as easy as it looks I should
a taken more pictures.  Maybe during school vacation I'll take some more pictures of all of us out on the snowshoes falling down... Rose got a pair for xmas too, so we're all ready for the snow.


 Beautiful sunrise morning Saturday
 James and Jason, 16 candles, 8 for each of them...
 Just in case Mom & Dad forget how awesome Snow can be (if you think of anything let me know.)
 The Deer yard, it may be to deep for them now...  It's been two days since the herd has stopped by for dinner.
That is the Honda under that pile, the snowbanks are getting tall around here.

Stay warm...

Mid August to mid September

Rose chopped up and froze a bunch of tomatoes already.  We've picked 17 tomatoes so far from our 3 plants.  Our apple trees have apples ...
