Happy Birthday Michael

Fall and winter, that’s what we have around here, gold and red leaves with a background of snow.  The snow did melt some today but it is still white!  Many of the aspen leaves are just dropping off which is probably what will happen to all of them—they will not turn gold but instead will turn black and fall off.  So much for fall—let’s just head on into winter.  Our Canadian friends, John and Brenda are making plans to head south of the medicine line planning a stop here that was to have included some riding.  So much for that idea Mother Nature.  I think the plan now is to see them in Arizona—in much warmer country!

Look at our smart dog—the snow is so deep on either side of this cattle guard, Emmi can’t go around as she usually does—so she is getting very adapt at walking the cattle guard.

Today is my dear husband Michael’s birthday—he requested a simple celebration so that’s what we had—steaks on the grill and Nat came up to join us.  I did make chocolate cupcakes and presented Michael’s to him with a candle!  Happy Birthday, Michael, may we have many, many more together!

Fall and winter

 

Boredom set in for Michael today and he braved the mud—when he plowed our driveway, he also plowed the snow from around his shed project.  Today he slogged around in the mud setting a new truss. I spent the afternoon finishing up LoraLee’s quilt—the thread arrived on Friday—and making the binding strips.
