You gotta admit...

...This is pretty!!

No particular reason

I just thought this was funny.

In case you were worried

Mother Nature, the snow version, found us today and gave us about 10 inches. Probably not the end of it and it does make all those snow bunnies happy. It really is pretty; especially through the glass with a hot cup of something in your hands!

It's baaack!!!

Well at least the cold part of winter if not the white part. Temps are plummeting today and will probably set us up for highs in the low teens next week. Good cuddling weather!
Speaking of cuddling...the neighborhood quilt club is back in session from our holiday break. We are all making a variation of the log cabin pattern. We get together every couple of weeks to check on our progress and iron out any difficulties. Mostly we just sit around and gab; they are a nice bunch of women.
Some wildlife sightings recently. We had a large bull elk walk right through the back yard the other evening turning on the motion lights. He had quite a rack and sure is bigger than the deer that wander through daily. Of course Luna's favorite is still the squirrels in all their varieties although on walks she is always looking for grouse. She goes to point so nicely it seems a shame we don't try to take her hunting for real.
Well I guess that's all for now; we'll try to stay warm and you can help by thinking warm thoughts!!

Hello 2007!!!

2006 was a great and busy year for us. We got into our new house and even though it's not all done it's very comfortable. We made some new friends and welcomed some old ones that came for visits. All of you are encouraged to come back and for those of you thinking about it but not sure "Life in the North Woods" is for you...come on and give it a try...we might just win you over!!
Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy New Year!!
