Bird Watching

I set the camera up in front of the window.  I put the camera on my tripod.  Now all I need to do is sit and be patient and hopefully one of the cardinals will come to the feeder!

Hope you have a great weekend.

Horning in!

This little, big guy is more of a pet, than our next steak dinner.   We weren't really sure if we were going to butcher him or make him into a ox/pet.   He is over two years old and he really hasn't gotten that big.   We can pretty much touch him anywhere; he loves his ears and neck scratched.

Not much happening on the farm.  The guys have finished the big garage doors, that they have been in the process of building for a friend.  All that is left is to get the hardware to hang them up with.  That will be this weekends project.  You should've seen the four of us loading those suckers onto the truck!  They weighed a ton.  Then we had to go and unload them at the guys place, too!

Still working on the blankets.  I have one done and working on finishing the other one.  Then, I will be working on weaving a couple of shawls.  I will probably be doing book work for the next couple of weeks. (after this week that is)

Next week is the big 50 for me.  The hubby and I are going to take the weekend off and go away.   We are headed to Vermont and where ever our fancy takes us.  That is if the weather cooperates!  The east is getting a lot of snow this week.  Hopefully by next week things will calm down.

Hope you have a great week.

Season to Season

Not all taken in the exact same spot, but pretty darn close!  Those are the south view of the mountains from the farm.  I love to see the difference in the view from season to season.  I think they make for a wonderful view, no matter what season we are in.

Hope you are having a great week.

The Life

The sun can still be reasonably warm, when it is shining, even when the weather is cold.  At least the cats think so.

I am back down in Jersey for the week.  Working on getting used to using quickbooks.  I bought a workbook that I can learn with.  It is helping a lot.  Now if I can remember what I learned long enough to apply it to my own business version of quickbooks.

Not a whole lot going on.  Just trying to get through the winter and getting ready for tax time.  Yuck, not one of my favorite things to do.  Once I get done with quickbooks, I have to get all my data into it for the weaving and the farm.  I will be pretty busy for the next couple of weeks.

The last time I came down to NJ, I rode with the hubby and we saw a car upside down on the guardrails, and this time, when we came down, we saw a SUV that was on fire!  I told him that I don't think that is a good omen!  I think I better stay home the next time he suggest going with him ;-)  

Hope you are having a great week.

Almost done

This is a better picture of what the blanket will look like when it comes off the loom.  It does mute the blues, but it will still be very pretty.  I think my dad will love it.  I still don't know if I will do the second one the same or not.  Still debating.

Snowed this morning, it was fluffy and then, the wind had to pick up and make it blow all over.  That makes for very nasty driving conditions on our road.  That is how the daughter wrecked her car, the snow drifted over the road.  I had to drive her to work this afternoon.  Went to the chiropractors and I almost drove the car!  I am glad that I decided to take the truck, when we headed home from getting grocery's the roads where covered and blowing.  You had a heck of a time seeing the road!  Welcome to the northeast!

Hope you have a great weekend.

OMG!

I would not of wanted to be the chicken that laid this egg!

Went today and picked my ring up from the jeweler, because I had it made bigger.  I go get my hair done and get home to notice that it is missing a small diamond on the side!  Needless to say, I was not a happy camper.   I trust this jeweler, so I am sure they will make it right with no problems.

Was a reasonable nice day.  The sun was shining and no wind.  So, even though it was only in the twenties it wasn't too bad of a day.

Have a great evening.

Winter

 The ice icicles won't  be melting anytime soon.  The deep freeze is back starting tomorrow.

 I was hoping the picture would show the sparkles on the snow.  Maybe if you click and make it bigger, you will be able to see them.

 Coming out of the barn from weaving, I had to take this picture of the sun below the horizon.  Sure makes you cold just looking at it.

Hope you are having a good week.
