Squeeky Snow
Our Snowman welcomes you back to our continuing Snowfest. Yes, this is even after it snowed some more, but remember, this is a hayfield on a hill so what snow didn’t blow off got lost in the hay stubble. But we have enough for a good sledding day.

Dirt was home from school today, his first day of Christmas break. So of course we played in the snow earlier today. We take our simple sleds out back on a hill that is a hay field in the summer and goes down to a series of ponds Dale built to train his dogs. And … Continue reading

Having A Happy…
Thanksgiving Day proper was the best.

My begonias weren’t ready yet, still very damp and then I went to my pile of strawberry plants, … Continue reading
