Snow, Again

Sunday morning and all is quiet here. Yesterday was a not to bad of a day, weather wise. You only saw small piles of snow that had been plowed over the winter and were not melted all the way, yet. The husband and I delivered a load of hay and then spent the rest of the afternoon in Wausau with our youngest. I also did a little shopping. We saw lots of animals. Deer crossing the road. One almost slipping on a hill with lots of rocks making it a little bit harder to get where it was going. We also saw a lot of hawks flying around.

This morning everything is once again all white outside. I'm really beginning to miss the green leaves on the trees and green grass.
If you look close in this second picture you will see a Robin. I'm sure he is tired of being snowed on. While I was taking these pictures I could hear a tom turkey gobbling in the woods. The husband is looking forward to when it's his time to go turkey hunting. Toms only this time of year. With this one hanging around the husband keeps trying to get him to come closer with one of his calls. So far no luck. But if I ever see him in full strut, I will try to get a good picture of him. It will not be easy.

The post I did yesterday was at the suggestion of a guy I work with. I'll just call him JB. So I want to thank him for his idea. He came up with the word dumb assism.
If anyone else knows of someone who suffers from this I would love to hear about them.

Jean Viken Cold Case

When I first started this blog one of the first things I wrote about was the murder of a local woman. She disappeared Jan 29th 2008 on one of the coldest days of that month. Her body was found I think in May of that year. She had been shot. Her van was found not long after she went missing up north. She was the mother of 4 young children and was going through a divorce at the time. Well here it is 2 years later and nothing has happened to try and find the person or persons responsible for her death. Why? I'm sure the whoever was responsible was really not that smart. It's as if the no one wants to get to the bottom of what really happened to her. Maybe she was not important enough. Maybe she was not connected to the right people.  I wonder what it would take to get more exposure to this cold case. If there was more pressure from some place else maybe the ones responsible would start to panic and make mistakes to expose the truth. It's time the truth was exposed. Remembe

Jean Viken update and other local things.

This past week Channel 7 has been doing stories on the cold case of Jean Viken.I did see one of them. In it the police said they know who did it but they are waiting for someone to come forward. But no matter what four young children will be without their mother for the rest of their lives because someone decided to end her life out of the meanness of their heart. Here is the story I found on the internet: Jean Viken's friends and family remember her as a loving mother of four young kids, a devoted daughter and sister. But nearly four years after her murder, a dark cloud hangs over Jean's memory, as they continue to search for answers. "We were having a birthday party for her because all of her friends would have wanted to get together like we would have done if she was here," Jane Hempel said. Almost five months after Jane Hempel reported her sister Jean Viken missing, family and friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, hoping to feel some semblance o

Pondering Japan's Earthquake

The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse.  The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive.  Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof.  My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now.  I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility.  Here it is: With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rel
