February 2024 |
|
The weather may have been cold, but we still
managed to find plenty of entertainment this February. |
|
Swans! We've had a group of swans living on the lake this year, even raising some babies. | They are beautiful, and so HUGE! |
Posing for my camera in the evening light. (Which was probably at 4pm!) |
|
The next few shots are of some eagles who were messing around on the
ice. Here this one visits an unfortunate deer's carcass. |
|
This one is hanging out near where some ice fishermen had cut a hole in the ice. | This guy was walking straight toward me and looked so funny! |
Back to back they faced each other... |
|
Heading for another hunting ground. | |
We had a lot of coyotes near the house this winter. I took this
picture out of my |
|
Our trail cam got about 200 coyote pictures, but they were mostly
blurry shots of them running by. This one is crystal clear though. |
|
The trail cam also caught this majestic beast of the wild. | One day a group of six coyotes came out and messed around on the ice at about 11am. |
Four of them running off. |
|
The other two must have been young because they stayed to play chase on the ice for awhile before following the rest of the pack. |
|
Trying to take a walk when the inversion is right on the ground. |
|
This is the time of year when we prefer to just look outside instead of
actually going there.
It's also a chance to share a video of Buddy's heartbreak when Eric goes out of town for too long. |
|
Fresh snow in the mountains. |
|
Buddy found a deer part and was SO proud of it. He buried it at least 3 times. | |
One of many reasons why I'm a bad cook - there's no room to move around in my kitchen!! |
Beautiful morning scene with frost in the tree. |
Same morning, different beautiful scene. | Speaking of beautiful... My sweet Feisty was helping me change out the linens on a bed. |
Here she helps me with the guest bed, and shows me what she thinks of my attempts to move her. | It's become her morning routine to get in my way while I try to work out. Of course, I never make her move. |
Cross Country Skiing with my good friend Leah at Dog Creek Nordic Center. | With a name like Dog Creek, you know they are dog friendly! |
Leah took this wonderful shot of Buddy, it's one of my favorite pictures of him! | The creek was still open and flowing through the winter wonderland. It was very beautiful. |

We had a very fun night out with Larry at the Trego Community Center.
Our friend Brian plays banjo in the Deep Mountain bluegrass band, they are great! |
A friend of mine was giving away this quilt top because she didn't want to
finish it. I took it, backed it with a super soft blanket, and now it's a favorite couch decoration. |
We had a great time at the fun "Eureka's Got
Talent" event at our wonderful Timbers Event Center.

|
Brodie's birthday is coming soon so I made him this pen wrap as part of his gift. |
|
This face means, "OK Mom, you have sewed for long enough. I need attention!" | |
Seeing the sky one morning - blessings! | Lily loves to find one of the other pets looking comfortable, then she lays
down a little too close to them. She slowly works her way closer until they can't stand it and they leave. Her foot is touching his ear! |
Professional shots of Aubrey in the basketball divisionals. | Aubrey taking the shot despite some interference. |
Also a shot of Braden (in black) and that face in the lower left is Jake, Tracie's nephew. |
|
Oh how I love that face! | |
