Patroit's Day

I'm not sure who came up with this, but I LOVE it... in the center of town, the street is lined with American Flags and then the flag from each branch of the services in honor of Patriots Day....

It looks just grand... and I hope that people today remember our service men and women.......

Kas and Nate.....

Well..... it WASN'T in the seventies last night when we made our first "ice cream run" of the season!!!! Memories is a great favorite of the Flagg family and they are the ones that got us hooked!!!!

So, last night after an amazing cookout on their farm... Dave and Deb said .. "let's go for ice cream".. course, we knew what that meant....

This post is for Kassy and Nate.. who might be getting alot of beach time down there in North Carolina... BUT.. they aren't getting any "Memories".......


And yes, it does seem silly to be wearing your winter coat and eating ice cream... but, that's what we do up here in the north!!!!!!!!

haven't been bloggin'

I haven't done much "bloggin" over the past few days... because the truth is.. when the weather hits the HIGH seventies!!! staying inside is something that is beyond my control!!!!

I tried to "prove" how warm it was.. with this shot of the barn thermometer.. but, you (sadly) can't see it... though, it's a pretty cool thermometer wouldn't you say... brother Bill brought this for me as a Christmas present a few years ago, he thought it would look nice on our new barn.... and he was right!!!!

But, even though the temps were warm and wonderful, walking in the woods seems to still not be part of the bargin... good ol' New England snow, it just loves to hang in there... now, mind you, some of this pile is from plowing... but deeper in the woods, I would still think you're looking at almost knee high snow......
Just behind this tree line, is a deer run, which goes directly to where the new house will sit, and will probably become my path to the barn... hope the deer won't mind sharing it with me....


Moxie got hot enough to dig herself a little hole beside (yet another) new wheel barrow...... see, I had asked for a yellow wheelbarrow for my birthday, and at the time, Ed couldn't find one... so he got me that nice blue wheel barrow... which I was just as happy with. However, when he did find a yellow one... he picked that one up too... how much "horse poo" does he think I am going to be moving?????

I feel like the finishing touches on the barn are coming quick.. and I will have some "surprises" to show all of you at the end of the week!!!!
