Lots of Birds

 Every tree in our yard is alive with birds flitting about;  chirping;  enjoying the day--just like in May!  Even though  the fall colors are a bit smudgy this year, it still counts as another beautiful morning.  

Of course the birds know how to make the most of every minute of good weather.  

Driveway: After

It took all day Monday and a little bit of Tuesday for Harvey's Excavating  to transform our driveway into this.  I wanted good definition between driveway and lawn and enough material so that grass and weeds are not growing in the drive.  And that is what I got!  Yay

Driveway: Before

 

It's Sunday October 15, 2023.  We have marked the line with neon orange paint where we want the sides of the driveway. Tomorrow is the big day.  

First of April

 

Friday 1 April 2022

After an early breakfast, Rich went outside on the porch while I knit a row or two on a “Feelin’ Groovy” tuque.  He came back in and said I should come outside to see something unusual—a rainbow!  I gingerly stepped on the porch because it was wet from the rain last night  and I was in sock feet —- looked at the sky but saw nothing.  “April Fool” he said and when I stopped laughing , he gave me a big hug and a kiss.  

Big Snow

Snowed so hard!

There is a Christmas Card

In our back yard.  

First Flower

The first flowers of spring -- Colt's Foot--  pop up beside the road before any others.  They will not live up to their name until later in the summer when their leaves resemble the shape of a horse's hoof. 

Smoky Joe's II

You may wonder, and sometimes we do, why would anyone need a place to get away from it all when you live in a place that is "away from it all." Pictured above is just such a place. No phone, no electricity, no kitchen, no office, no worries. And no, it is not on airbnb.
