All in a days work

Spring turkey hunt 2008. Wyatt, dad and bird,Tanner.

After hammering the kitchen floor with a weighted hammer we got the floor level and this is the crack it left in the stairway sheetrock.

Wyatt likes to be dirty.

A good spot for 2 wild boys. They were observing the garage footings being poured.

New life,ruins,new life.

Mom Mote gave us her amarylis to enjoy while she has been traveling this spring..It sure is beautiful. Especially with all the cloudy gloomy days we've had. The second stalk has yet to open yet.


WHOOPS. Old insulation from the attic that littered much of the kitchen floor



The opening in the ceiling that fell with insulation.




The corner of the old garage met with a sledgehammer. Amazingly enough it made it through years of parking the car without getting demolished.





One of the calves of 2008 from the pasture who became an orphan when her mommy fell in a ravine and could not upright herself. No clue as to the white spots in the picture:(
