Keeping Busy in Winter

One of Ken’s projects this winter was to make a wagon wheel chandelier for the new building.  He had found a small one while we were Junk Jaunting. This had the parts he needed.

I found the globes at the local hardware store after this picture was taken.  It’s really going to be neat when we get it hung.

I wanted to post pictures of our Christmas tree.  Aaron calls it our “little house on the prairie” tree. The fresh cedar always smells good.

 Cleo thought the tree skirt was a good place to lay.  It reminded me of Tessie, She would always lay on the tree skirt in the evenings when we where downstairs.

I’ve made a couple batches of suet for the birds.  We have a few Downy Woodpeckers and Hairy Woodpeckers that like to visit.  
One day while Jillian was home, the three of us went for a walk by Stagecoach Lake.  I really like taking pictures of the trees and landscape.  It may look a little blah, but I think its really interesting.

I’m always amazed at how well our dogs get along.  They often share a bowl, pan or dish with no problems.  Although Mattie can push Ruth out and Ruth can push Kate out when they are getting near the end of the goodies.
