Happy New Years One and All! I hope your holiday season was wonderful. While Mountain Man has been forging ahead on his remodeling project, I’ve been having fun with Khrysta. Instead of a long post, I thought I’d share two brief videos. The first video is of Khrysta approaching a ball I had named “nemesis” [...]
I’d like to thank everyone for their Christmas wishes. They made our holiday incredibly special. Mountain Man is finishing painting the bedroom and we’ll be moving into it sometime this week. Today, I’d like to combine a little bit of old and new. Just some shots of the new bedroom and then Mountain Man’s meme [...]
For those who struggle this time of year. You are not alone. Each Christmas Eve on Red Pine Mountain,I begin my solitary tradition as I have for the past several years. I take one dog and head into the snow covered hills seeking answers to my questions. Verdant green branches surround me as does the [...]

Goodbye old bathroom, hello first section of the new bedroom. Mountain Man decides to break the concrete by hand. No jack hammer for him. He’s a glutton for punishment. Goodbye old floor. Mountain Man surveys the wreckage while I maintain a safe distance. I can’t tell you how much dust was in there. I [...]
I adore my readers. I can’t tell you how much and I can’t say it enough. And to those of you who leave comments, a special thanks. Without comments to keep me going, I would stop blogging. And, I’m especially happy to answer questions. Kath asked why we don’t live in the RV. Here’s a [...]
Lately this blog has been all about horses and the dogs are asking for equal time. I admit I’m missing the first big snowfall in Vermont but it’s a beautiful morning here, 40s and sunny and I didn’t want to mope so I took Logan, K-Whip and Alvin for a hike in one of the [...]
