Oh Deer!

Hello all! Welcome to my paragraph about the winter that will NEVER end! Another solid 8" yesterday. I can't take it anymore. The only saving grace is that it has definitely brought the wildlife out of the conservation land behind our house. The deer have been in the backyard on the nightly basis. One night Ernie let us know they were there. We got up and there were seven, eating and a couple were even having fun standing on their hind legs and wrestling.
For the first time in seven years of living here we had a Bobwhite Quail. He was hanging out in one of the Crabapple trees, doing some serious munching. By the time we got the camera out we got one shot of him taking off. Hope you all enjoy the photo's and please.....THINK SPRING!!!!!

Welcome Skye

Our good friend Chip Joyce lost his faithfull companion, Hondo, a couple years back. Having spent the appropriate time grieving he has decided to step back into the game and picked up his newest best buddy, Skye, last weekend. We wish Chip and Skye many years of fun on the streets of Watertown and the beaches of Cape Cod!

Winter Carnival Photos

Hello all! Thanks for tuning in to our Blog. I can't tell you how cool it is to hear how much fun you guys have checking in. We're really feel blessed to have such great friends and family. I really enjoyed messing around with my new video camera and software, but I'm sure you guys missed some of the pace and detail of the still photos. We had a great time and highly recommend a trip up to Quebec City. In just a short six hour drive you feel like you are in old world Europe. It's really a special place.
