She Who Must Be Obeyed

Needless to say, Elmer the dog, got his curiosity handed back to him by Cricket the Barn Cat after this picture.

Another Day in Paradise

Liz took these pictures of our property today. 

Autumn is on it's way and Summer is definetly waning!

This is  from the top of the gondola looking at Kellogg, Idaho. Chuck sent this one as they continue to ATV all over the state!

Warm Summer Day

Here's a picture of us out walking to the barn. I was going to make fun of Bob's outfit, then I looked at mine! Whoa!

Cricket's Toy

Cricket the barn cat owns the entire property and us. She's a feral cat, wicked, sometimes mean, and lives at the barn and harasses everyone. She just wants us all to remember the barn is her toy - oh, and everything in it too.

Hail, Cold, Sun and Wind

Today proved the point about waiting until May 10 - 15th to plant. We had all kinds of weather today! While we wait it out there have been signs that Spring is here - at times.

Bob took these pictures tonight of the sunset, barn and our "way back", after repairing the chicken coop in the barn that some animal is trying to get into.

My seedlings finally made it into a newly cleaned greenhouse thanks to Bob - but so did the wasps!

Here's a painting project I was working on before I bulged all the discs in my neck, pinching the nerves that give my hands and fingers fine motor controls, like writing and painting. This is a Jo Sonja design and the following pictures are my adaptations. They'll be filled with St. Nicholas cookie cutters, cookies molds, rollers and recipes.

Below are my painted boxes adapted to add Bishop's Staff, Saint Nicholas' name, Bible, and three gold balls he's always depicted with. Also doing just one angel underneath. St. Nicholas' Feast Day is December 6th and is celebrated with gifts, stockings, candies and FOOD! 

Some goodies for the boxes.
