Right at this moment I'm really not in the mood to do to much sharing. So here is a picture I took while I was sitting by the fire pit one night. It's kind of on the windy side right now so I can't burn the pit right now. Here are some turkey's that came to strut their stuff one night.There was also three hens with them. I think there might be a possibility that one of the hens might have a nest some where near by. Speaking of baby birds. There are a number of Robins that have different nests around the yard. One under our deck. They might be gone now. it does not take long for them to lay eggs, hatch out and then the babies fly away. One in a tree at the front of the house. They are hatched out and gone already. Another one in the barn on top of a post that the husband wanted to more. They have finally flew the nest so he moved the spare post. I think there is one in the big garage that have hatched out and moved on. At least one more in the hay ...

Another month has just breezed by for 2016.  Before I get into anything else I will show you a picture of the swing I just took. I've got some branches that I raked up from the yard that I put in the fire  pit. Now I just have to get the right time to light it. It was a little windy just now so it will have to wait till maybe this coming weekend.  As you can see the grass is green but there no leaves on the trees yet. Still waiting for the temps to warm up and stay warm. There is still a nip in the air. To compare here is what it looked like last year.    I guess it looks a lot the same. When it comes to this time of year it kind looks the same year to year. I just might not show you the differences during the summer  months and early fall. The only time you can really tell the difference from year to year is during the winter months. So I will not be showing you the swing for a while, unless there is a big change that happens dur...

It's hard to believe it's the beginning of April already. How has your last month go? Mine was nothing much to talk about. Before I get into anything let me show you the swing. As you can see, no snow, at the moment I took this picture. But it has been snowing a little bit here and little bit there. It does not stay long, thank goodness. I just want it to dry up so we can start doing other things in outside. Here are pictures of the swing from the last two years. This was last year,2015 This was 2014, the year we didn't think winter would ever end. You just never know what the weather will like at this time from year to year. I'm thinking about stopping showing you pictures of the swing every month. During the summer it does not change very much. Each winter can be so different, that is the time to share a picture. But what I was thinking of doing is maybe just doing it 4 times a year. You know for the start of each season. Then you will s...

It's the first of a month and I finally have a little time to post something. To start with here is a picture of the swing I just took. It's a nice sunny day right now, but it is a little on the chilly side. It's around 20 degrees right now. Not a whole lot of snow on the round right now. Next week it is suppose to get warmer. I hope we do have an early spring. I want to do things outside. Now to compare, here are pictures from the last two years. Last year. 2014 Now that year we had snow. With each year we are getting less and less snow. I wonder how much we will have next year at this time. I'm sorry to say I do not have a project done. It's almost done but not quite. I will have it finished by the start of next month, I promise. Plus I might have another one also, maybe. I suppose I should ponder something. Since today is what they are calling Super Tuesday I guess I could comment on the possibilities of what could happen aft...

Hi all! How was the first moth of the year for you? Mine was quieter then it was for others. Before I get into other things let me show you the swing. This time tomorrow, it will look different. We are suppose to get a snow storm. Not as bad as they had it on the East coast but they are already canceling some  schools for tomorrow.  Now here are the last two years to compare swing with.  This is from last year. As you can see there was more snow on the ground then this year. 2014. The swing was almost covered with snow. I wonder what next year will look like.  You never know what kind of winter you will have in Wisconsin each year. But I think you can say that almost everywhere. I'm sorry, but I have not finished a project in time to show you. I just have not been in the mood to do much crafting. I do want to have at least two project to show you next time. Now I suppose it's time once again for things to ponder. As I'm writing this...

Another year is here. How was 2015 for you? Mine was really not to bad. My youngest daughter was married. The rest of the year was fairly calm for, compared to how a lot of people's lives. Before I get into any pondering's let me show you the swing from today. I was thinking about having the pit going when I took the picture but it was early and we had plans to go somewhere, which we did, so You'll just have to settle with a non fire pit burning kind of picture for the first of the year. Now here is the one from last year: Well we did have more snow last year. Now here is the project I did get done for Christmas: It's not from the book. My son-in-law saw something like it on "The Big Theory". So my daughter asked me if I could make one. It's a tissue cover. I guess it's something a geek or a fan of the Rubix  cube would like to have.   As for how my holidays were well, it could have been better. I had a bad attitude for th...

It's the beginning of another month and almost the end of another year. Where has the time gone?  Before I get into any pondering I'll share the latest picture of the swing. I took this after I got home from work. But it was sleeting at the time. Now here is what it looked like last year. It was sunnier and we had more snow last year.  This last month for me was uneventful for me. The husband did get one deer during the gun season. An eight pointer. Want to see? No he did not shoot it in the yard. He was in the woods back behind our place away. We never seen this fellow in the yard. Not even on the trail camera he sets up every once in awhile in the yard.  I wonder if Fred survived the season and if I'll see him again. Maybe next year I'll be calling him Stanley. I did manage to get one project finished. Just a little guy who can sit on a shelf.   Well I suppose you want to know what I'll be pondering. There are a lot of d...
