STORMY WEATHER

View out the car window.
Storm was in direction we were headed.

The worst of it.
Until the rains started.
Then dark & raining HARD!

Starting to see the back edge of storm.

Phew!
Made it.

Storm moving off as we near home.

INJURED ADULT EAGLE

This eagle has an injured wing.

Raptor Education Group Clinic

believes it is a gunshot wound.

Hope there isn't a Momma eagle & chicks waiting

for his return.

JUVIE

The juvie that ended up in the Mississippi River

when the nest tree blew down in a storm.

Rescued & taken to the Raptor Education Clinic

in Antigo, WI

NIGHT VISITOR

 A bear & his shadow behind the tree.

Might be rubbing against it.

 

Wandering back into camera range.

Its shadow proceeds it.



SPRING WALK & FRISKY DOGS

 Downed tree is future fish crib

 

 Calm lake

 

 No need to worry about crossing the ice for a few months

 

 Across from the cabin 

alternately an ATV trail or a snowmobile trail or

a walking path and

a wildlife lane

 

 Rough & tumble

 

 The chase is on

 

 King of the hill (err. . . sandbox)

 

 Keesha (the trouble maker)

 

 Pooh - the timid sister

Suddenly overhead - a big bird

Birthday party

Carter - the birthday boy

 

 His favorite gift - just like Daddy's

 

 Cousin Ethan - 9 years old

A great student, but such sass :o)

 

 Cousin Mia - almost 7 (June 4)

Took 3rd place in a morning race

Beat out by a 14 year old & a 23 year old overall

 Cousin Ava - almost 2 (May 17)

Running a fever, but still tried to keep up with the older ones

 

 The entertainment - a pinata

 

 

Couldn't resist a pic of the kitchen cookie jar

2013 - projects

 Stenciled the front door window - made it a bit more private

 

 Saw some painted rocks - wanted to try but none available under the snow or in the rain

Made my own rocks (salt dough) & painted

In case you can't tell - ladybugs, turtle & hedgehog

 

 

Removed old carpet, painted steps, covered risers
