Well, my goodness!

Hello everyone, 

Did not know I had forgotten to post on here for so long, been busy in the yard. 

So will catch up with some pics of critters and work in the yard. 

This year has been crazy for ticks. I find them on dogs and ourselves every time we get out in the yard to do some work. 

So here are the pics by the dates we ran into each other.

Happy Valentine's Day

Hello everyone, 

I hope everyone is enjoying the weather, here it is for a second week, warm temps, and snow is all gone. Spring is not here yet, but not far off. I think I have "cabin fever" as I am longing to be outside doing something. I will plan on a garden this year although it will be done in containers. This ground is so rocky, hard to dig in. So, above the ground in containers will be just fine for me. 

Did I say we now have a lost cat that can help keep the varmints at bay around here? The cat showed up last fall and has been with us all this winter, he gets fed twice a day and sometimes a few snacks are thrown in. Do think I made him "fat" but never had a cat as an adult and did not ask for this one. Just can't let it starve so feed it. He is a stray for sure, does not want a human hand touching him, nor will he come close. He keeps his distance but comes when called for food. So, guess I now have a cat if he lets us come close sooner or later as he will need to see a vet and get things taken care of. Its color is black and white. He sometimes stayed over at the neighbor's house, he died this last fall, and it did not belong to him. As it gets warmer, he seems to be staying now at our house more and more. The tip of one ear is missing, so guess he has had a hard life being on his own. 

Will see if he lets me take a pic of him, if so, will post it later on. 

Love and Prayers,

SNOW

Hello everyone, 

The first day of the year and it snowed all day yesterday, only got 1-2 inches. But for now, roads are clear for the most part. This is a wet snow sticking to everything. 

Guess today I will see about working on some of the quilt blocks I have done. Think I would like to do some embellishments on them. 

The roof over the upper deck is working great, the deck is dry for the first time since this house was built. I must say no longer than it is up we are very happy with it. 

More stuff coming, so stay tuned to see what we are up to next.

Love and Prayers,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Hello everyone, 

We are doing just fine and hope this post finds everyone doing well. 

We are enjoying the new roof to our upper deck, keeping the snow and rain from the door and windows. I will have some pics later on. 

We also now have several trees taken down this fall, I will say more about them later on. We are getting the place opened up some. I feel it will let the air flow through better around here. I have removed all the honeysuckle from the fence and cleaned that up as well. We will have some cleanup to do, and I also plan to have several half-barrows with plants where some of the tree stumps are. 

More coming later on. All our pups Truffles and Kricket are doing just fine, and our Frosty bird is fine also. 

Stay tuned with us.

Love and Prayers,
