Spring has sprung!!

It's been a really long winter but finally it appears we are moving on. Trillium and morels are a good sign!!

Sorry!

It's been way too long since I last posted. It's not that nothing has been going on or that I have been too busy...just somewhere in between.
Winter still has us in it's icy grip although we saw our first chipmunk of the season (they apparently hibernate). Considering it was 2 degrees I bet he wishes he had slept in a little longer.
Ron continues to toil on kitchen cabinets. He did build this very spiffy countertop for the pass through between the kitchen and dining room. It's just the right height that everyone leans on it like a bar while I am doing dishes. Maybe it's just because everyone we know finds leaning on a bar familiar!
Hopefully this will be the last picture for this season that I post of the snow. These squirrels keep Luna entertained and if you look closely there is another one on the way. Even they are exhibiting "Spring Fever". Love is definitely in the air around here.
Speaking of that...Monday Ron and I will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. I couldn't feel any more lucky that I found such a great guy and I am grateful everyday that we are together.
Now back to work honey and get those cabinets done!!

Not complaining

(And what good would it do anyway?)
I know we moved to the north woods and snow is part of the deal but how high do you suppose this "Marge Simpson hairdo" will get?

Totally geeked!!

Had three bull elk come in this morning. They get to over 800 pounds. Ron even got some great video which is surprising because they are pretty shy.
We feel so lucky to live here...some people drive a thousand miles just to see what wanders up in our backyard!!

New Year....

....and new layer of snow. Only a couple of inches fell last night but it was enough to cover all the tracks on the road from the holiday weekend snowmobilers. Luna thought that 2 degrees was pretty chilly but she is always ready to go for a walk.
Here's wishing you all a Happy and Healthy 2008!!!

Merry...Merry Everyone!!

Looks like a white Christmas for sure up here in the North Country...just the way it's supposed to be!!
Thank you so much for checking in on my little site this year. Special warm wishes go to my regular posters...Lynne, Julie and my wacky cousin, Leigh who gives us all a good laugh. And for you "lurkers" out there that stop by but are too shy to post...give it a try, it's easy!!
Hope you have a festive and fun-filled holiday and all the best to you and your families in 2008!

PS As you can see there is always room up here for a visit, just come on by and cuddle up on the couch...hot chocolate always ready!!

Lovely to wake up to!
