Yes, this blog has been started and will continue to be structured around the new addition to the family, but we'll still keep you up to date with some of our everyday excitement....
It's that time of the year where "tundra" is officially frozen and our only chance to get out to trim the wetland behind the house. For those who haven't been out to the house, we keep a portion of the wetland between the house and lake cleared so we can keep a view from the yard. It also helps clear an area for the deer to come in and graze. So far, the largest number of deer we've seen has been a baker's dozen. We'll keep an eye out to try and get some pictures.
Granted it was near blizzard conditions, visiblity was poor and the thermometer read 20 below zero, I ventured out to the frozen tundra where the snow was 7.4 feet deep. OK, so maybe a bit of an exaturation, but there were a few flakes falling, the temp was just a bit above zero, and the snow measured up to being knee high in most placed (thigh high in some)...... Having the proper tools this year allowed the time spent out in the brush to be cut in half, which is a good thing because the temperature was also cut in half.... Saturday, I was able to get roughly half of cutting done and finished up on Sunday. Thank you to Kim's dad, Don, for helping out on Sunday.....
