Snow Day On The Hill,...

We are enjoying a "snow day" on the hill. The usual view is overcast, and now a few minutes after this picture was taken it's snowing hard again. Snow depth so far is 10.5 inches.


Looking down into the woods from the front deck...


The back yard and driveway,...


My new camper just waiting for spring,...


How to spend a "snow day?" Mitzi knows,... take a nap!

Or like Kiki, hang out by the window and watch the snow...

The plan for the afternoon is to bake some bread, and plan a nice dinner. I love a snow day!

Nap Time,...

Where is KiKi? She hasn't been seen for a couple of hours. After a search of the house this is what I saw... snuggled down under the comforter... Yes, that is a cat's ear!


Gee Mom, I was napping, and you started flashing that camera at me. I think I'm getting "the look!"
OK KiKi, go back to sleep.

An Evening at Home,...

What a comfy bed a mandolin case makes! Introducing "Peanut"... who's not really very small, in fact he's a very big boy now that he's all grown up!

Here's the mandolin in action!

Friends, music,... a relaxed evening at home!

A Boy And His Dog,...

What is better than a boy and his dog? ... Two boys and two dogs! Today my son and daughter-in-law took their boys to the local SPCA to adopt puppies.

Ian and puppy "Finn"...

A closeup of Finn enjoying life with his new boy!


And Owen and "Joey"...

Joey with a toy,...

I think we have two very happy boys, and two very happy puppies. Way to go John and Melissa for giving your sons such a wonderful gift. And I should also let you know that the boys are paying all the upcoming vet expenses out of their own savings from working on the farm. Am I proud? For sure!
