I always try to call work fun, so I don't get down and out about doing it. Actually, it was Hubby who said he's glad we had to go out and cut wood yesterday. He said it's good to get fresh air in winter. Then again, he's the first to say, "why do we do this?" when we run out of wood and we haven't planned early for it, ha ha!
The last few times we split wood, I found beauty all around us and went back out with my camera. Hubby laughs at this, and calls me "crazy."
Here are the photos I took:

New Photo Album On-line
I am starting an on-line photo album to share. The main reason to do this was to share wild flowers and other plants growing here. However, I am adding more.

First Snow of 2010
It actually started snowing last night, but not enough for any to stay. This morning it's snowing those beautiful, fat and lazy snowflakes. I wasn't the only one excited to see the snow. My kids loved it too. We'll see how long their excitement will last when it's snowing so thick we need to shovel snow - ha ha ha!

My son's photo assignments for 12th grade
After going through some of the photos my son took for a school assignment, I found this one. He has taken some very nice scenery photos. Isn't it peaceful? I love the ripple in the creek too.

Another beautiful sunrise today
We were blessed with another beautiful sunrise this Sunday. I'm so glad I took the time to watch it.
It's about time to check on the chickens and see if more are laying eggs. Yesterday I bought a metal basket for the kids to bring the eggs inside with. They laughed when I showed them the basket, and said we should call our house "The House on the Prairie". We may not be on the prairie, but it feels wonderful to be in the country.
Yesterday we had a stray dog visit us. Actually there were two, but one ran off. The one that stayed was limping and very friendly. He appeared to be neglected. His tag was a year old, which didn't even match the dog it was on. His nails were way too long, he was missing hair in spots, his eyes were glossy, and his teeth didn't look right. I'm sure whoever was out hunting just let them roam free. He took a nap in one of the bars, but left later. We tried putting him in a tie-out, but he just kept getting loose from it. He smelled horrible also. Poor dog. Why do people get pets and then just tie them outside and ignore them?
We still have the five kittens. We haven't found a home for any of them yet. We did however get the other barn cat spayed before she had even more kittens. They would be great mousers for someone too.
I was woken up this morning by Tiger pouncing on me. He brought his play mouse up to the bed and was darting around with it. Soon, Jasper was there too.
A few days ago, I had chenille stems sitting on the kitchen counter for a craft project. The next thing I knew, both kittens has stolen them and have been playing with them ever since. We also discovered they love drinking straws. We can't store them on a low shelf anymore. One look and we could see tiny teeth marks in the tops of them - ha ha ha!
