We finally got some snow near the middle of February. It was wet heavy sloppy stuff. We started with five to eight inches of light snow and switched over to wintry mix and rain that turned it into heavy mush. That is no fun to get off the driveway, walks and deck as it tends […]

January slipped by with just three storms. It is early February and we are getting even more rain. We have been seeing lots of turkeys and deer. We have even seen the turkeys and deer at the same time. Their interaction was interesting to say the least. The deer are hungry and have even been

We spent two days on Rapa Nui (Easter Island). We were part of a bird watching club on the Maasdam which was chaired by the on-board Naturalist, Martin Cohen. We went to lectures by the naturalist and marine biologist prior to arrival on the island. Afterward the group would gather and share their photographs and

We are settling into the house and chaos reigns supreme. The work on the addition is slowly wrapping up. Hardly a day goes by without some minor crisis. An example was that the remnant we choose for the bathroom sink was too small and a substitute had to found asap. The weather has also been

The construction project is nearly finished. The final Walk through is scheduled for November 19, 2018. So we need to get the house put back together. Right now the house is all torn up. We need to organize things to get back to normal. The garage is a 20 foot by 30 foot space. We
