This is the rear of our
house in the summer time.
|
|
Flowers in the
spring time.
|
|
Our buddy Nitetime
(rest his soul) hanging out on the deck with the flowers.
|
|
Spring flowers. You
can see some black netting that we use to keep the deer
out. Without the netting they will eat everything we
plant.
|
|
Crocus
|
|
A fly agaric
mushroom (amanita muscaria). Some years after a lot of
rain we will have thousands of mushrooms sprout around the
house.
|
|
Summer in full
bloom.
|
|
We have plenty of
wildlife in our back yard. Black squirrels with tufted
ears like this little guy, lots of deer, birds,
coyotes and even bear.

Here is a view of
the front of our house in the winter. Most winters
we have very little snow. 2006 was an exception.
|
|
Here is our deck
during the blizzard of 2006. The drifts were five feet
deep on the deck.
|
|
Here I am with my
snow blower trying to get my stuck truck out. The snow was
pretty deep at this point.
|
|
This is a more
typical winter snow, an inch or less.
|
|
During one storm we
were stuck at our house for 10 straight days. I had to
work from home because I couldn't get to work. One day
Heather and I went cross country skiing down the streets
since they hadn't been plowed. Those are our ski
tracks down the middle of the road.
