Happy Birthday Thad...the Big 21!!!

Happy Birthday Jane

These were taken on our packtrip last summer with Jane and Scott and friends. It was a great time..and I got a couple of neat photos....

Winter at Scott and Sara's

I caught a rut and suddenly was stuck. John came out to get me out, which he did. Then he got stuck. Richard Huland, who he and several others were out on the county road waiting to get by us, walked home, got his big John Deere and got John out.

More winter casualties..the snow blower is inside this.

Well we wanted more snow...

The horses tied up so Brad could get a bale out of the stack.

Brad plowed my driveway...first..

Getting the bale. That thing is so much easier than the truck pulling it around. And the snow in the corral just wouldn't let the truck do it.

-20 this morning...

Snow days

Outside the living room window.

Pinochle at Sheryl Boroff's last night. Jon worked all day so we could drive in. His road was way better than the county road. Pictured here is Sheryl, Mim Davison (back), Sydney Jensen and Michelle Pape. It was so good to see Michelle..it was her 2nd outing, and she was amazing.

This bump in the snow is my knee high block for getting on Toots bareback. 

Afternoon in the rock shop with Betty

She's dug out her steroscope and learned how to use it. This is a cell phone photo of a blue agate I polished a few weeks ago. This is probably a square 1/4 inch. Maybe smaller. 

Betty with the steroscope. It's a truly neat tool.

Our little snow storm
