Acrossed the Tundra


Acrossed this little landscape....

"Grow old with me, the best is yet to be"
"The view from the top is worth the climb"
"Adrift"
" Tis not the tree that blocks the path, tis not the ash nor pine

but if you fail or fall my friend it twas some hidden vine

that tripped in up and thew you down and knocked you unawares

the big things you can get aroud but watch the path for snares"

"Back of the clouds..."


Sharing a little of my snowshoe hike today it was Beautiful and there was a strange light in the sky for most of the day but they say more snow is heading our way with 6 more inches in the forcast that will put us well over the 35" mark since Nov. 15th

Went hiking in the snow!








The wind died down today and it snowed on and off all day so I decided to go hiking - I went w/out snowshoes... big mistake - its deeper than I thought... of course I had to take random pictures along the way - my hiking partners 3 four-legged - dogs(goofballs)- the cows love the snow, the pigs & goats don't seem to mind either -however Annie our potbellied pig and the chickens prefer it indoors - Good luck finding Annie...she sure knows how to keep warm!! YES those 4 big pigs fit in that little house - though we are not sure how!!

More wedding pictures




I love black n white photos -
Also as wedding pictures trickle in I will post our favorites on here

Snowy Cold Morning


Bruce has been out working in the shop since about 6:30 am...
Brrrrr another snowy cold morning here in the North Country
...batten down the hatches...
suppose to be (more) 50 mph winds again today & lots of lake effect snow!
I am working on books this morning but not feeling real perky just yet -
we are not sure but maybe had a touch of pnemonia on top of everything else -
I went for a long hike in the woods with the dogs yesterday after shoveling snow
there was alot more snow than we thought it was a heavy wet
Perfect for snowman snow!!

Hello from the COLD North Country


... Before we knew it winter roared in! For a week until this morning is been snowing and blowing - the little town south of us where the wedding was recorded wind gusts of almost 60 mph - the ONLY good thing about the wind is that we barely have any snow on the ground here at the farm with the 8 inches we got!! The wind has stopped today thankgoodness as about 3:30 am this morning the furnace decided it was tired - So first thing this morning - Bruce tears into it and finds someone to fix it for only 75.00 - whew - so hopefully we will be warm again as they are predicting more snow and blowing today - saying a huge storm is suppose to hit us this evening leave 8-10 more inches of snow - -

- Its been a whirl wind 3 months for us with the weddings & receptions (pictures posted on here) but we are thankful for all our privileges during that time!! Now to get settled again and back in to a normal routine - as if that is ever possible on a farm ;-)))

Bruce will be happy that I am finally getting better - I have been sick for a week first with a flu bug (not the way to lose weight let me tell you!!) Then with a full blown cold that has finally settled into my chest and sinusus - so I have this deep manly voice now... and cough whew - you would think it would bring up my socks!! ;-)) We are hoping this goes soon as I have only gone outside once this week to feed the birds - I miss doing chores and bonding with the critters!!!

Bruce is BUSY in the shop and we are very Thankful for that as there is a never ending stack of bills to pay ... Take care and thanks for checkin in.....
