VISITORS

Three deer right out behind the house
We were not able to get them all in a picture at once.
They were beautiful and a treat to watch.

FRUSTRATION!

I have been saving my pennies for a long time to buy a floor frame for rug hooking.
I have been convinced that our farm house is the perfect place for rug hooking
with its big windows and bright rooms.
A few weeks ago we finally made the trek to Nova Scotia to buy my frame.
We took it to the farm last week, Paul assembled it for me
but then I didn't have the time or energy to get myself set up to hook.
That's when we had company with us.
This week I got all set up and...
no rug hook!

All set up to hook another chair pad for the last kitchen chair that I painted

I have not hooked for 2 or 3 years
and didn't remember all the various bags and containers with supplies.
I am ready now with two hooks...
but we aren't at the farm now.
I will get it all together soon!

SPRING!

A week ago we took a visiting missionary to the farm with us.
The day was beautiful, 28 degrees C (over 80 F) on the north side of our neighbor's house!
We took a wonderful walk in the woods. I was surprised that most of the ice and snow was gone. It sure was different from our walk at the beginning of March as you can see here.

On our previous visit, the wreath still hung on the door and looked beautiful.
With snow on the ground, it didn't look out of place.

The Christmas tree looks fresh enough to go back into the house,
but that is not going to happen.
On to spring!

Snow Pics

Such pretty big flakes!

Such a nice cozy house!

Pond house steps

Pond house
I was standing on the frozen pond.

As you can see, there is no path beaten down to the outhouse.
We enjoy all the comforts of home here.

Teen Overnight

Since it is March Break,
we took some teens to the farm for a winter overnight.
We had a great time
and they seemed to also.

A walk in the woods...

a little ice fishing...

pointing out deer tracks...

a hornet nest built in the tractor...

and some sledding.
