Home Sweet Frozen Home
Looks like snow - but it's not. It's frozen sleet. When you walk on it, you walk ON it and don't even leave a footprint.

Icy!

Tux wants to play.

We were supposed to thaw out yesterday - and didn't. Today it's just starting to thaw into a nice muddy mess. Ha.

Nothing else new to report, lots of projects on hold till the weather clears up.

Sunday December 7th

A couple more pics from the yard. The turkeys were last monday, the deer about 3 weeks ago.

Forgot to mention in yesterdays post how nice it was to have Men Who Do Things around for a few days. They inspected my roof, put up a shelf, fried a turkey (yum!), fixed the trailer tongue, installed a bamboo shade on the porch, fried shrimp and frog legs (yum!), cleaned a deer, and assorted other handy things I can't remember offhand.

Brandi on Pulpit Rock

Sorry about the lack of posts in the last 4 weeks. It's been hunting season. I managed a doe for freezer meat, that's all. (Still have the Christmas hunt dec 26, 27, and 28 to look for the big buck). Besides that I haven't had any new pictures and besides that I was getting ready for company for Thanksgiving. I had six people for five days. Monique, her husband Roy, daughter Brandi, mom Velma, brother Russell, and his wife Cynthia. Of course I forgot to take pics except when we hiked saturday afternoon.


Monique, Brandi & Roy

Brandi went hunting with me thursday and friday and really surprised me with how quiet and patient she could be. Even though we didn't see anything, she didn't get discouraged. Saturday she hunted with uncle Russell and they got a small buck so that was great. Wouldn't you know it, the BIG buck was seen from the living room window by the non hunters friday afternoon! Ha!

We had tons of fun, tons of food, and a great time. The weather had been miserable, cold, windy, and rainy but cleared up for the visit with sunny 55-60 degree days. It's back to cold and windy now. Ugh. Yesterday the HIGH was 38.
