One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure. -William Feather

Oh bother, another beverage is order!
Long, picture heavy post!

I'll show you the quilled sunflower first, then you can continue blog surfing!
Don't feel obligated to finish the post!
This needs a sentiment, but I'll have to think about it, or wait until I want to use it!

 

I dug out a cross stitch last night!

My boss needed a ruler that had circles in it.

While looking for my knitting needle gauge, I found a couple pictures I should do up!

 

Anyhoo, it's been an eventful week!

 

Earlier this week, in a random blizzard, I was looking for the elk.

Hadn't seen them yet this drug out winter spring!

 

Here they are at the far end of the pasture.

 

 

And here they are on the road one morning!

 

When I drive down there, there's just the tracks on the road!

They're like ninjas......they just vanish!

 

I saw an eagle!

 

 

Here he is giving me the evil eye!

 

No leaves on those trees yet people!

 

I saw the usual geese, ducks, & swans.

 

 

Then added to the mix one day was a bunch of cranes!

 

 

Hahaha, this guy on the right was giving me the finger.....REALLY!

 

Lookit this!

 

 

He/she was just having a rest in the yard!

So cool!

 

After the -16 morning on Tuesday, Spring arrived Thursday night with a vengence!

This is sunrise Friday morning!

The bridge board across the small well behaved creek, is trying to leave the scene!

 

 

This was last night!

The road goes over to the fenced pastures!

I mow on both sides of the little dirt road!

You can see my poor little spruce trees are getting a real good drink!

 

 

Here's Shadow.

She's saying, "Do you SEE this!? My forest is full of water...WTH!?"

 

 

"OH well, might as well check it out!"

Worse than a kid I tell you!

 

On Wednesday one of the gf's said, "Is it dry by your fire pit yet?"

I said, "It will be in a few days"

(Insert maniacal laughter here!)

It's flooding!

 

 

 

Here's the footwear of choice to check out the water situation!

Short pants & rubber boots!

 

It's gone down quite a bit already today!

I think it was just the initial thaw in the forest!

 

The wood furnace is shut off!

It's probably tired after 7 months of working!

All the dry wood left in the woodshed will get split for the fire pit!

I got a hug this week in the computer store for this Sympathy card!

I was buying a new TV for my craft room.

A 19" flatscreen.

I'll let you know how I like that!

I know the sound is better!

 

I took my peeps from the OFH to Walmart in Peace River today!

I only had a few things on my list!

Vanessa met us there, and we picked out some outfits for our friend that had twins.

She has a 1 1/2 year old too, so she's getting a sun dress and coloring book!

 

I was looking for a milk frother!

Vanessa said, "Are they on sale?"

I said, "I don't even know if they have them here, I just googled them and Walmart popped up!"

Vanessa, "OMG, you're just like some people that come in the store, and tell us they saw something on line, and why don't we have it!"

I said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to make a scene, I was just checking to see if they had one!"

They didn't!

 

Ray got new tires put on the van while I was gone.

And he washed it as a bonus!

 

The tire swing got fixed when I got home, and I cleaned up some more garbage in the yard!

Where does that crap come from!?

And if all the snow would melt out of the fire pit, I'd clean it out, so I'm ready!

 

Shadow's going to the vet on Monday, so I'll be back down in PR.

Vanessa's checking to see if they have a milk frother at her store, and Ray needs a new phone.

Shadow's not sick, she's going for her annual shots,

and I'm actually going to pay to get her hair cut!

And a mani pedi, and what ever else they figure she needs to be comfortable in the heat.

If we have heat!

 

Better go, been up forever!

Hope you're all well!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!
