From my back door

I hope you don't mind another deer picture, but we see a lot of them since the snow has gone. (To see them better, click on the picture)

This is spring???

Yesterday there wasn't a trace of snow - now look at all that white stuff. Schools were closed and I took a snow day.

1st deer since late last year

This is the first deer I've seen for a while. I'm glad they are back.

What is on my hands? Birthday cake?

My face feels funny. I don't understand what is happening - mom usually keeps my face and hands clean - what's going on here??

Poor Kevin

His mother didn't have "1" and "3" candles, so she put "20" on his birthday cake. In seven years she can use these numbers again.

Winter storm

Steven is plowing with his skidder. It started snowing during the night and hasn't stopped all day. I think this is the most snow we've had at one time this year. I should add this is only the 2nd time he's had to plow all winter, which is very unusual.

Winter wonderland

Another Bday cake picture

This is the first time she fed herself - and she did a fine job

Is it cold in Thunder Bay?

You betcha - this is my dryer exhaust pipe inside my house.

Alyssa's BDay Present

I was in Toronto for my one and only Granddaughter's first birthday. I gave her this "musical activity table", which ended up being a hit. She spent a lot of time pushing all the buttons and playing with it.

My Granddaughter and her cake

This weekend I am at my son's house in Toronto. Yesterday was my Granddaughter's (Alyssa) first birthday, so I flew in to watch her fist some of her first cake into her face. Hilarious video I might add.

It's all over

but the cleaning up

Merry Christmas

Debby got a few photography books - amazing enough, no duplicates

Way to go, Mark

We only had this little bit of snow overnight Thursday. The last snowfall we had, Mark was out there shovelling the deck more than 1/2 dozen times.

Should I try?

Every time I pass this sign I have to smile. (Click on the picture to make the picture bigger and the sign clearer).

Buck

Three bucks came through the yard a couple evenings ago. Hunting season lasts until the 15th so I hope nobody shoots these beautiful animals.

Pileated Woodpecker

This is the best picture I could get. The Pileated Woodpecker is the biggest woodpecker in this area. My bird book says it is 16.1/2". This is only the second time I've seen one.

This morning's sunrise

It is nice to see sunrises over trees and mountains, and not buildings

Moving that white stuff

This picture mysteriously appeared on my camera. I wonder how that happened? Debby?

First big storm of the season

This was taken from my kitchen window.
