Ponder Pages

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of all the old ideas that should have been left at the side but are always front and center. Things are never going to change until we start living for a future and not the past view of things. We like to tell ourselves that everyone is here for a reason.  The question is what is the reason? Is it for the good or for the bad?  Are we suppose to continue to live for past things that happened generations ago? When we live like this the future will only look like the past. If the past is hated so much, how come so many insist on keeping it going? For I would like to be able to judge someone for them, not the bad image that is always being presented to me by others. Will we ever be able to live honestly with common sense? Will respect ever be a trend and something everyone really strives for? Sometimes it feels like the people who say they want to fix things are the ones making it worse. All people have got to come toge...

I know if anyone is following me, I'm sorry I'm late with this post. I was out of town yesterday so I'll post something now. First I will share a couple of pictures I took on Friday. We were up north of here at Minocqua. These were taken at the "Wildwood Wild Life Park. They are always changing things. They are adding an area that will  have more animals from Africa. It is a very family friendly place. There are a number of goats that are running around in the one area. And some deer that are running around in another. And as you can see there also a number of turtles running around. And you can see having fun with one another. After seeing that I know why there were so many smaller turtles in different pens.  And this black bear was just chillin' out, maybe after one to many bear sodas. You can feed this bear or another bear a bottle of soda that you can buy from a machine especially for them.  If you find yourself up north you should check out Mi...

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...
