spring is here

Its been a long winter and finally dry enough
for a huge crane, machine thing to come and
remove the huge tree bases and rip out the roots of
our old trees. Now there is a huge pile of roots
out front. The day they removed the large pieces
and dug the roots they were going to come back and get the
pile of roots but it poured for a week and our roads
especially ours is one big mud pit. (they had ripped
up our road that week as well trying to update the
sewers). That is one of the things I hate about Magrath
is the many gravel roads.

Bretts 25 Birthday

Well today we stopped counting after 54. the sweet
little deer in our field. (not) They camoflauge really
well with the field grass. I need to get a telephoto
lens.


















Brett is now 1/4 of a century.
It has been fun having him home
for a short bit. We went to an Ethiopian
restaurant for his bday dinner. It
was great . We all ate from one plate
with no utensils . It was great.
