My Crazy Dog

The other night we were working away in the house and Cody was in the cabin basking by the fireplace. After awhile I could hear him howling and crying, he sometimes does this to get in or out of the cabin, so I went over to check. But he wasn't there. I called around the cabin and could hear him so I went back in, and to my surprise he was looking down at me from the loft. I have no idea how he climbed the ladder without falling off, but he did. I think he is going a bit crazy in his old age.

Wintertime is coming, Wintertime is coming!

Well this morning we woke up to minus 11, the cabin stays pretty toasty though with all of us in it, thank goodness. I think the snow is here to stay now, it looks really beautiful in the trees and around the property. I was told that by spring I won't think it pretty any more I will be cursing it.

Today Ed is working on garage doors for the basement and I am stripping wires - ohhhhh are you jealous!!!

The kids have had this whole past week off for their Fall break - who know- I had to triple check with about three people to be sure I was hearing it correctly.

Today was the first day we were able to recieve phone calls at the house, I have figured out it is choppy at times and I can not be uploading pictures at the same time - opps!

Dylan got a call from his Best friend Travis today and that made his day!!! I'm sure he will be talking about it for a while!

I think your tractors Sexy !!!!

After 35 years of waiting Ed finally has his own tractor. Its a F*%^ing Universal - but it gets the job done!!!

Snow and Lots of it - in OCTOBER!!!

We had an early snow adventure. It fell a few days before Halloween. We were thinking we would be trick or treating in Snow suits, but it was gone a two days later. It was absolutely beautiful!!

The first picture is taken from the corner of Eagle Creek and Canim Hendrix Rd. looking down the highway towards home. The second is Forest Grove - red roof is the store and gas station and the other building is the hardware store and post office. The Community Hall, Library and school are behind me and the church is 2 blocks from the post office.

An example of the amount of snow. (ignore the dates on the pictures - I was too lazy to change the setting!!!)

Halloween in Forest Grove

We had a great Halloween - we trick or treated through the Grove with some friends then headed to the Community Hall for HotDogs and Hot Chocolate, and one of the best Fireworks shows we have ever seen!!!
