Our 37th Anniversary Today, Grandson Caleb's Birthday, and we are painting our WALLS!!!

Papa and Roger, the man who did our mudding/walls in photos below:

With Roger all done, Mark begans his painting.
The main colour is call "Butter Cookie" by Brers
Accented by "Amber" which Mark says looks
like the inside of a ripe peach.

Lots of progress...have a look! See our new wildlife updates



Mark borrowed our neighbour's tractor to mow our large
front grass.  We  also had a murder of crows move in
next door to the barn....noisy fellows indeed!
This week we had a few surprise visitor....A hugeblack bear  &
a young moose...(sorry no photos) and a pair of sandhill storks.
The photo of the birds were taken by Mark/Papa...he walked
out through a field to get them!  Good work!!

Now as you can see the "mudding"(crack fill) has began on the inside
of the home, and I am now looking at "paint chips" deciding
on colours....thank the "Good Lord" that I have daughters
to help me here...boy am I bad at this job...LOL
Yes Wendy, we are looking into the yellows too!!

Last but not least, the shingles are nearly done...looking good!!!
